This is true for both channels, though we handle them differently.

For channel 0, the SUN4I_TCON0_BASIC2_V_TOTAL macro multiplies the passed in
value by 2. I think we should do the same for channel 1, and instead halve the
value passed in if we are outputting interlaced data. I think this makes more
sense because:

1) The register description for both channels are the same. Handling them
consistently will result in less confusion, such as this one.

2) The definition of interlaced modes is a frame is separated into odd and
even fields, with each field contains half the number of lines of the
full frame. One field is displayed during each VSYNC cycle. The TCON does
not know whether it's interlaced video or not. It only knows the display
timings. In this case, the number of horizontal lines per cycle is key.
