Doing this means that you also allow for V4L2_FIELD_ALTERNATE. If you do that, then there
are additional requirements when you queue up buffers in that the 'field' has to be set to
TOP or BOTTOM in struct v4l2_buffer. I am sure that is a requirement for the encoder, how
this would work for a decoder I am not sure.

Also, values like V4L2_FIELD_SEQ_TB/BT would not behave well if you pass them through a
decoder.

Frankly I think the only 'reasonable' values would be FIELD_NONE, FIELD_INTERLACED and
possibly FIELD_ALTERNATE. I don't know enough about how codecs handle interlaced formats,
so I can't tell how much sense FIELD_ALTERNATE would make.

Properly supporting interlaced formats should only be done if you actually tested it and
know how it works and what exactly is supported.
