Comment(by amb at gedanken.demon.co.uk):

 I had the same problem with V4L1 and kernel 2.6.25 and the patch removed
 that problem.

 The patch did however add a new problem which was that individual
 interlaced fields would appear out of place several frames later than they
 should have been displayed.  This caused frequent jumps in the picture
 (although they only showed up clearly on fast moving images).

 I have no objections to applying the patch, but please don't remove the
 dead code that is left behind.
