OK, happy to do that.

OK, will do.
I'll hold off until tomorrow morning in the hope of some response on
the DT side.

I'll sort those today. They're all pretty trivial, and are mainly
allow more combinations of framerate and resolution to work. I've
still to do an exhaustive test though, and the Tosh chip can be a
little fickle at times.

Feel free to be selfish :-)
I should say that my testing has been done against an in-house
designed board, but the B101 seems to be nigh on identical. The fact
that it worked with the V1 patch set should hopefully mean that there
aren't any issues.

Thanks
