    media: field-order.rst: clarify FIELD_ANY and FIELD_NONE · 823a633e
    Hans Verkuil authored
    Rephrased the FIELD_ANY description: rather than explicitly list
    field values, just say 'when any field format is acceptable'. The
    list of FIELD values was outdated, so it was a bit confusing.
    
    The FIELD_NONE description said that 'The driver may also indicate
    this order when it cannot distinguish between V4L2_FIELD_TOP and
    V4L2_FIELD_BOTTOM'. This is false, NONE really means a full frame
    and userspace depends on that. So drop this line completely. There
    are no drivers that do this anyway.
    
    FIELD_TOP/BOTTOM/ALTERNATE indicate that the number of lines in the
    buffer are that of a field, not frame, so returning NONE here would
    cause huge problems.
    
    Finally attempt to clarify 'progressive' and 'interlaced' a little
    bit.
