You're not adjusting the sharpness. Instead, you're changing the vertical tap filter,
and just for the even frames, plus the notch filter.
Tricky, and you're probably affecting the sharpness, but on an indirect and non-linear
way, as you're adjusting different measures.

This doesn't seem right, at least on my eyes. If this is really needed, it would
be better to break it into two controls (one for the notch filter and another for the
vertical tap filter).

Also, the "side effect" is not good: if you're using those bits, your code should assure
that no other part of the driver will touch on the used bits, and that the device will
be initialized with the default standard.
