(Taking the above chunk as one particular example, the comment applies to the 
rest of the driver.)

I'm fine with the change in general, but I wonder how we will handle it going 
forward. Here the ADV7604-specific pages keep their ADV7604_ prefix, while the 
pages common to all supported chips now use an ADV76XX_ prefix. If a new chip 
comes out tomorrow with support, let's say, for AVLINK, how will you name 
ADV7604_PAGE_AVLINK ? Renaming it to ADV76XX_PAGE_AVLINK would imply that it's 
supported on all chips, which wouldn't be true, and keeping the existing name 
would imply that it's only supported on the ADV7604, which wouldn't be true 
either.
