media: imx.rst: Update doc to reflect fixes to interlaced capture

Also add an example pipeline for unconverted capture with interweave
on SabreAuto.

Cleanup some language in various places in the process.

source pad is routed to a capture device node, with a node name of the

Note that since the IDMAC source pad makes use of an IDMAC channel, it
can do pixel reordering within the same colorspace. For example, the
sink pad can take UYVY2X8, but the IDMAC source pad can output YUYV2X8.
If the sink pad is receiving YUV, the output at the capture device can
also be converted to a planar YUV format such as YUV420.
It will also perform simple de-interlace without motion compensation,
which is activated if the sink pad's field type is an interlaced type,
and the IDMAC source pad field type is set to none.
Note that since the IDMAC source pad makes use of an IDMAC channel,
pixel reordering within the same colorspace can be carried out by the
IDMAC channel. For example, if the CSI sink pad is receiving in UYVY
order, the capture device linked to the IDMAC source pad can capture
in YUYV order. Also, if the CSI sink pad is receiving a packed YUV
format, the capture device can capture a planar YUV format such as
YUV420.
The IDMAC channel at the IDMAC source pad also supports simple
interweave without motion compensation, which is activated if the source
pad's field type is sequential top-bottom or bottom-top, and the
requested capture interface field type is set to interlaced (t-b, b-t,
or unqualified interlaced). The capture interface will enforce the same
field order as the source pad field order (interlaced-bt if source pad
is seq-bt, interlaced-tb if source pad is seq-tb).
