It's quite minor, but please try to wrap your commit messages:

This should be defined using a macro and use BIT() to be clearer, for
instance:
#define ADV7182_REG_INPUT_RESERVED BIT(2)
That definition should live near the defintion of
ADV7182_REG_INPUT_VIDSEL.
If the bit is documented with a better name, then use that of course,
otherwise perhaps even a comment in the code saying that failing to set
the bit increases visible noise would be suitable. (or that setting the
bit reduces noise, I guess it depends on if you think this bit is
performing noise reduction, or if not setting it is introducing noise)
