FIELD_INTERLACED is standard dependent: it is effectively equal to INTERLACED_TB for 50 Hz formats and equal to INTERLACED_BT for 60 Hz formats. For non-SDTV timings (e.g. 720i) it is equal to INTERLACED_TB. Stick to FIELD_INTERLACED, that's what you normally want to use. > the old soc-camera version of the driver do it this way so I have > kept that logic. > > This is the reason why the field order is wrong when you apply this > patch.
