Antti Koskipaa f6a5cb1be8 [media] v4l: v4l2_subdev userspace crop API
This patch adds the VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_CROP and G_CROP ioctls to the
userland API. CROPCAP is not implemented because it's redundant.

<para>To retrieve the current crop rectangle applications set the
<structfield>pad</structfield> field of a &v4l2-subdev-crop; to the
desired pad number as reported by the media API and the
<structfield>which</structfield> field to
<constant>V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_ACTIVE</constant>. They then call the
<constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_CROP</constant> ioctl with a pointer to this
structure. The driver fills the members of the <structfield>rect</structfield>
field or returns &EINVAL; if the input arguments are invalid, or if cropping
is not supported on the given pad.</para>
<para>To change the current crop rectangle applications set both the
<structfield>pad</structfield> and <structfield>which</structfield> fields
and all members of the <structfield>rect</structfield> field. They then call
the <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_CROP</constant> ioctl with a pointer to this
structure. The driver verifies the requested crop rectangle, adjusts it
based on the hardware capabilities and configures the device. Upon return
the &v4l2-subdev-crop; contains the current format as would be returned
by a <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_CROP</constant> call.</para>
<para>Applications can query the device capabilities by setting the
<structfield>which</structfield> to
<constant>V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_TRY</constant>. When set, 'try' crop
rectangles are not applied to the device by the driver, but are mangled
exactly as active crop rectangles and stored in the sub-device file handle.
Two applications querying the same sub-device would thus not interact with
each other.</para>
<para>Drivers must not return an error solely because the requested crop
rectangle doesn't match the device capabilities. They must instead modify
the rectangle to match what the hardware can provide. The modified format
should be as close as possible to the original request.</para>
