good question.

I looked into source and there seems to be some support for reading
interlace and esp. top field first signal in there?


if (fmt.fmt.pix.field == V4L2_FIELD_INTERLACED) {
        av_log(ctx, AV_LOG_DEBUG,
               "The V4L2 driver is using the interlaced mode\n");
        s->interlaced = 1;


but also

static int first_field(const struct video_data *s)
{
    int res;
    v4l2_std_id std;

    res = v4l2_ioctl(s->fd, VIDIOC_G_STD, &std);
    if (res < 0)
        return 0;
    if (std & V4L2_STD_NTSC)
        return 0;

    return 1;
}


does this mean this function always return "not a top field" if format ==
NTSC?

due to this chunk below ..
=====
if ((res = mmap_init(ctx)) ||
        (res = mmap_start(ctx)) < 0)
            goto fail;

    s->top_field_first = first_field(s);

    st->codecpar->codec_type = AVMEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO;
    st->codecpar->codec_id = codec_id;
=====


src is

ffmpeg-6.1/libavdevice/v4l2.c
