Hi Niklas,

Thank you for the patch.

I'm puzzled, why can't we support V4L2_FIELD_ALTERNATE if we can support 
V4L2_FIELD_TOP and V4L2_FIELD_BOTTOM ? I don't dispute the fact that the 
currently implemented logic might be wrong (although I haven't double-checked 
that), but what prevents us from implementing it correctly ?

I don't think this is right. If V4L2_FIELD_ALTERNATE isn't supported it should 
be rejected in the set format handler, or rather this logic should be moved 
there. It doesn't belong here, rvin_get_sd_format() should only be called with 
a validated and supported field.

Furthermore treating the pix parameter of this function as both input and 
output seems very confusing to me. If you want to extend rvin_get_sd_format() 
beyond just getting the format from the subdev then please document the 
function with kerneldoc, and let's try to make its API clear.
