You are correct, thanks for pointing out, I will change in a v2.

From what I understand main and high profile decoding have hw constraints in that
the direct mode motion vectors buffer must be located continuously after the YUV buffer.

I also observed instances where the current requirement for profile_idc > 66 caused issues
for some streams, e.g. big_buck_bunny_1080p_H264_AAC_25fps_7200K.mp4

Because of this it was just easier to always configure the motion vector buffer address.

Yes, both fields are decoded into the same capture buffer, top field to odd numbered lines
and bottom field to even numbered lines, so I guess this corresponds to V4L2_FIELD_INTERLACED.
This is also how the cedrus driver handles field decoding with Jernej's h264 patches.

I do not know if it is possible to configure the hw to decode into a V4L2_FIELD_SEQ_TB type output.
