As I mentioned above you as long as you get a good backporch value you
can deduce from whether it is an odd or even number to which field it
belongs and fill in the other values. So I think you only need to read
these values for one field.
Filling in good values here (at least as far as is possible since not all
hardware can give it) will help debugging issues, even if you otherwise do
not support interlaced.
