Thanks Sultan for the suggestion, sorry for the late response because we 
spent some time internally to discuss the feasibility.

Yes, it's really good suggestion. Because current V4l2 doesn't have 
standard ioctl for like region setting, to support it, besides adding FW 
command, new customized ioctl also needs be added and no existing APP 
can benefit from it. So our idea is not to add them to our current 
upstream driver, but we would be really glad to help you to enable them 
locally with dedicated thread, suppose it can help to improve the IQ 
with correct input setting like the correct ROI region, but we aren't 
sure because we didn't do that before on Linux and would really expect 
your test result and feedback.
