The current tv_mode has driver-specific values that don't allow to
easily share code using it, either at the userspace or kernel level.

Since we're going to introduce a new, generic, property that fit the
same purpose, let's rename this one to legacy_tv_mode to make it
obvious we should move away from it.

It's not wrong, but 'legacy' is already overloaded with meaning. If you can,
maybe name it 'driver_tv_mode_property' or 'custom_tv_mode_property'
instead.

I'd really like to point out that new drivers shouldn't be using this.
If we're using either of your proposals then writers might get the
impression that this is ok to us.

Would you prefer deprecated to legacy?

I'm merely suggesting. Call it legacy then, so you don't have to rework all of the patches.

Best regards
Thomas
