[MK] To be honest, I did a google search and arrived at the list. If you need
to specify where it actually defined, I would need your help since I don't have
access to any standards document. If not, we might want to start with a small
set ( where we know there is a specific standard for the same) which can be
expanded later by developers (since they would know what standard they refer to)

[MK] So are you saying we need all four:- il_vtotal, il_vfrontporch, il_vsync,
& il_vbackporch ?

[MK] will change to
#define V4L2_DV_PROGRESSIVE 0
#define V4L2_DV_INTERLACED 1

[MK]If we need to support different interlaced formats as you state, we could
add a flag using the reserved later. I think it is better to add such things
later when someone actually has a use case. I don't have access to CEA
standard. So I can't comment on that.
