In the case of interlaced formats, can the vfront-porch, vback-porch and vsync-len
for the second field always be calculated from these values? Is that fully
standardized or can there be exceptions? struct v4l2_bt_timings has separate fields
for these, but that may have been overkill.

CEA-861 defined the option to slightly lower the clock frequency by 1.000/1.001 to
achieve frequencies like 29.97 or 59.94. In v4l2_bt_timings I made a flag for that.
I'm not sure whether it is better to just set the clock to the correct frequency
(which is a weird value) or mark it with a bool.

For what purpose are the min and max values added? To specify hardware limitations?
If it is the latter, then I think it would be a better approach to split that off
in its own struct.

For V4L2 we made a separate capability struct:
