In the current driver, the field order is global. As soon as it's changed it
takes immediate effect. This is a problem when the video changes order mid
stream. Although it mostly works okay, the video may judder / flicker.
This patch attaches the field order to the frame, so that any buffered frames
will not be displayed until the correct field. In the event that the field
order is changed mid stream, the driver will ensure that the previous frame
is displayed for a minimum of 3 fields. These are the two original fields the
frame should have occupied, plus the one extra since the new frame still has
to wait for the correct field.

The yuv output code always compares the new frame position & size with those
of the previous frame. If they are different, a flag is set to request the
yuv output registers be updated when the new frame is displayed.
If the incoming frames are delivered too fast, exhausting the buffers, the
most recent frame already buffered will be discarded. Unfortunately, any
update request will also be discarded. If the new frame matches the size &
position of the now discarded frame, the yuv registers are not flagged for
update & will remain in their old state.
This patch preserves the register update flag in the event that a frame is
dropped.

When the video standard is changed, there's no guarantee the framebuffer
dimensions are still legal. The yuv output code uses these dimensions to
calculate the size & position for the video overlay. If the framebuffer
dimensions are now illegal, the output may exceed the vertical limit of the
display, causing distortion.
This patch adds an additional check to ensure the output doesn't exceed
the limits for the current video standard, cropping if required.

Modifies automatic mode selection for yuv playback. Behaviour is now that
source video with a vertical resolution below that of the currently set
broadcast mode will be treated as progressive. Video with a vertical
resolution greater or equal to the current broadcast mode (up to 576 lines)
will be treated as interlaced.

It took three core maintainers, over four years of work, eight new i2c
modules, eleven new V4L2 ioctls, three new DVB video ioctls, a Sliced
VBI API, a new MPEG encoder API, an enhanced DVB video MPEG decoding
API, major YUV/OSD contributions from Ian and John, web/wiki/svn/trac
support from Axel Thimm, (hardware) support from Hauppauge, support and
assistance from the v4l-dvb people and the many, many users of ivtv to
finally make it possible to merge this driver into the kernel.
Thank you all!
