I have indeed tried setting that, but with no effect.  However, checking
through the datasheet for the FIMC I discovered a DMA output (CIOCTRL)
register bit called 'Weave_Out'. The description is:

"Even and Odd fields can be weaved together and combined to form a
complete progressive frame by hardware. This field is useful for
interlace DMA output mode (Interlace_out or CAM_INTERLACE). Even field
address (1st frame start address) is used weave address. Odd fields
address (2nd frame start address) is ignored."

This does produce full sized frames, but I still seem to only be getting
one field per frame, with a blank line inserted between each real line.
Setting both interlace and weave doesn't seem to help. So, something
still missing...  

I wonder if the irq handler is getting called for each field, maybe we
need to wait for two interrupts before dequeing the frame?

Cheers,
Mike
