You definitely need to set tvnorms for the video node as well. Take a look
at v4l_s_std in v4l2-ioctl.c: if tvnorms == 0, then your s_std function
is called with a std of 0 as well. The v4l_s_std function could do with a
WARN_ON(!vfd->tvnorms), by the way. This is why that ATSC test is also
always failing (and so can be removed).

The tvnorms value for the vbi and video node must also be identical.

You can easily debug what gstreamer is doing by running:

	echo 2 >/sys/class/video4linux/video0/debug

This will turn on core logging of all v4l2 ioctls, and it should help you
figuring out why gstreamer is failing.

This debug facility is new and is very handy.

One small thing I saw in querycap: don't set cap->version. The core sets that
to the kernel version automatically (and if built with media_build, then it's
set to the kernel version of the media tree).

There are still a few blocking issues here that I've told you about before.
Ignore this if you were planning to do that in a next version of the patch.

- use the control framework in the bridge driver
- use struct v4l2_fh

It's all trivial to add and you get control events and prio handling all for
free. I'm almost tempted to do it for you since it's 1 hour work tops for me,
but that's not really my job.

- use the new dv_timings API for the HDTV formats, both in the bridge driver
  and in the adv7441a driver.

This really must be done. As I mentioned before: I didn't implement this for
nothing. It's easy to test this with the qv4l2 utility which fully supports the
new API.

If you need help with any of this, please mail me and we can set up an irc
session.

I also strongly recommend using vb2 instead of videobuf. It's so much better.

What I don't quite understand BTW is how you detect and set formats for the
adv7441 driver. You must have something similar to VIDIOC_QUERY_DV_TIMINGS or
VIDIOC_S_DV_TIMINGS, but I don't see it offhand. How does this work?
