The input the the CSI is a field of 240 lines but the vdic will combine these and have 480 lines. I don't recall exactly why but for this to propagate properly you need to set the 480 lines on the csi output. > > > I do have a discussion going on here about NEWAVMODE and BT.656-3 vs > > BT.656-4.

That patch won't affect adv7180 but I wonder if the issues you are having have to do with something like this. The adv7180_init function will set BT.656-4 mode and adjust V bit end position for NTSC... I don't know if that's consistent with the IMX53 CSI needs? There are lots of little tweaks that can be made to the EAV/SAV codes and its not clear to me how to deal with compat issues like i have run into with the adv7280 config not being compatible with the IMX6 CSI needs.
