Maybe I need some help to implement correctly g_selection.

Lets say that the resolution of the compressed stream is 1280x720, and
that resolution is set with s_fmt(OUTPUT queue), then I calculate the
output resolution which I will return by g_fmt(CAPTURE queue) and it
will be 1280x736 (hardware wants height to be multiple of 32 lines). So
the result will be 16 lines of vertical padding which should be exposed
to client (think of gstreamer v4l2videodec element) via g_crop
(g_selection) as 1280x720 because this is the actual image.

So from what I understood while read Selection API, I need to support
only composing on CAPTURE queue, no scaling and no cropping.

OUTPUT buffer type, data source
TGT_CROP_BOUNDS = TGT_CROP_DEFAULT = TGT_CROP = 1280x720
TGT_COMPOSE_BOUNDS = TGT_COMPOSE_DEFAULT = TGT_COMPOSE = 1280x720

CAPTURE buffer type, data sink
TGT_CROP_BOUNDS = TGT_CROP_DEFAULT = TGT_CROP = EINVAL
TGT_COMPOSE_BOUNDS = 1280x736
TGT_COMPOSE_DEFAULT = TGT_COMPOSE = 1280x720

With this logic in g_selection the output of v4l2-compliance test
application is:
	test Cropping: OK
	test Composing: OK
	test Scaling: OK (Not Supported)

So why v4l2-compliance still thinks that the driver supports Cropping?
