If it is easy and doable then could you describe what I need to do to
support it?

I have configured ADV7393 chip in following mode with the timing below
in connector-analog.tv.c. With this I am seeing continuous flicker
with nothing on display (black screen) and sometime could see the
kmscube but it seems it renders in four quadrant(i.e. once in each
quadrant). I have also tried doubling the pixel clock from 27MHz to
54MHz in timing for non-interlaced mode of ADV7393 but with it also
nothing on display and continuous flicker.

Do you know what might be going wrong? What should I look for to fix this?

** ADV config:
- 16-bit SD RGB input
- NTSC mode
- YPrPb component output (CVBS)
- non-interlaced mode

** Timing configured in in connector-analog.tv.c

static const struct omap_video_timings harman_ntsc_timings = {
        .x_res          = 720,
        .y_res          = 480,
        .pixelclock     = 270000000,
        .hsw            = 62,
        .hfp            = 19,
        .hbp            = 57,
        .vsw            = 3,
        .vfp            = 10,
        .vbp            = 34,

        .vsync_level    = OMAPDSS_SIG_ACTIVE_HIGH,
        .hsync_level    = OMAPDSS_SIG_ACTIVE_HIGH,
        .interlace      = false, /*true */
};

I am using this panel to test [1]
