Now I come to realize that in patch "[v3,19/24] media: rkvdec-h264: Add field
decoding support" all this code is removed. This is because the wrapping is
already done by the ref-builder, so while enabling field decoding, I now use the
wrapped value from the ref builder. I'm mostly keeping the patch so that this
fix is well documented. I will leave it like this then.
