Ok, I will remove the checks then.

Indeed. I compared the values with the spec and they are not
correct. Even hsync is wrong. I already corrected in the code the
hsync but regarding interlace I'm not seeing an easy way to do
this without using interrupts in each vsync because the register
I was toggling does not behave as I expected (I misunderstood the
databook). Maybe we should not detect interlaced modes for now?
Or not fill the il_ fields?
