I have realized I have forgot that it is not simple mem2mem device, it
is decoder. It is feed with compressed data which is just byte stream,
the only valid field value on output side is V4L2_FIELD_NONE.
About possible interlacing we could only say in case of capture side.
And in this case there are multiple questions:
- how MFC decodes stream with interlaced content?
- is it possible to convince it to decode it as user asks?
- does it perform (de-)interlacing?
- what is implemented in the driver?

After answering above questions we will be able to say how fmt.pix.field
should be treated on capture side.
And similar question we can pose in case of encoder.

So simple patch and so many doubts.
