So, if I understand correctly the field needs to be passed per-reference,
and the current per-DPB entry is not good?

If you could point at the userspace code for this, it would be interesting
to take a look.

Given enum v4l2_field is already part of the uAPI, perhaps it makes
sense to just reuse that for the field type? Maybe it's an overkill,
but it would make sense to reuse the concepts and types that
already exist.

We can still add a reserved field to make this new reference type
extensive.
