A quick follow-up to this: in adv7180_irq it does:

        if (isr3 & ADV7180_IRQ3_AD_CHANGE && state->autodetect)
                __adv7180_status(state, NULL, &state->curr_norm);

If we remove the autodetect 'feature', then this would be removed as well,
however, what would be better is to replace the call to __adv7180_status()
with generating a V4L2_EVENT_SOURCE_CHANGE event (v4l2_subdev_notify_event).

That way applications can be informed of source change events (assuming the
bridge driver will pass it through, but that's not the concern of the
adv7180 driver).
