Just a few drive-by comments, as I'm looking at selection targets for
other imx sensors and I've noticed this one on the list

These are the sizes

And here is how they are applied to selection targets

1) CROP_DEFAULT should be contained in NATIVE_SIZE (actually all
targets are contained in NATIVE_SIZE, and are defined relatively to
it). This means that IMX300_PIXEL_ARRAY_HEIGHT > IMX300_NATIVE_HEIGHT
is probably wrong.
2) You need to specify CROP_BOUNDS too. If the driver does not support
reading optically black pixels using the selection API, it should be
identical to CROP_DEFAULT (v4l2-compliance should report that, see
https://git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git/commit/?id=1ed36ecd1459b653cced8929bfb37dba94b64c5d
3) CROP_DEFAULT (and BOUNDS) should report the sensor readable active
area. You have one mode where the TGT_CROP rectangle width is bigger
than the CROP_DEFAULT (and BOUNDS) rectangle width (5984 > 5520). I
think 5984 should probably be made the CROP_DEFAULT (and BOUNDS) width
then, as the 5984 mode's width implies the 464 pixels exceeding 5520
are readable and valid for image capture.
It's not easy to get these right with a datasheet sometimes, without
one it quickly becomes a matter of guessing. But even if the values are
computed as 'best effort' we should try to respect the relationships
between the different selection targets.
