    CrystalHD: Improve interlaced h.264 support. · e44073ca
    Philip Langdale authored
    As previously discussed, the CrystalHD hardware returns exceptionally
    useless information about interlaced h.264 content - to the extent
    that it's not possible to distinguish MBAFF and PAFF content until
    it's too late.
    
    This change introduces use of the h264_parser to help bridge the
    gap; it can indicate if the input data is PAFF fields or not.
    
    With this clarity, some of heuristics can be removed from the code,
    making this less convoluted.
    
    Finally, I found an MBAFF clip that acts like non h.264 content so
    I had to make allowances for that.
    
    Note that I still cannot distinguish between two forms of PAFF,
    where the hardware either returns individual fields or a field-pair.
    It's not clear that there's even a spec relevant difference between
    the two forms, as opposed to hardware ideosyncracies.
