This check isn't necessary, timings is never NULL.

This is all very good. But one more step is needed:

	v4l2_find_dv_timings_cap(timings, &tda1997x_dv_timings_cap,
				 timings->bt.pixelclock / 1000,
				 NULL, NULL);

This will find matching timings in the presets as long as they don't differ
by more that 1/1000th of the pixelclock (to allow for natural variations since
clocks are never precise). If found, it will update the timing to the of the
preset. It's really what you want, since knowing that a timing is a CEA timing
or DMT etc. can be useful for userspace.

If there is no match, then the measured timings are just passed on to userspace.

Regards,
