You need to add your SoB to this and the other patches.

The tfp410 and sii902x drivers don't have the above check. Why does mhdp 
need it? Or the other way, why don't tfp410 and sii902x need it?

I guess at the moment we always do get MEDIA_BUS_FMT_FIXED as the out 
fmt (in all three bridge drivers), don't we?
