Hi Andy,

Thanks for the quick review.

Yes and that's what the driver does when do when application passes
V4L2_SEL_FLAG_LE while doing the selection. If application does not
specify explicitly whether to round down or round up the cropping
parameters requested by it (i.e app is neither passing V4L2_SEL_FLAG_LE
nor V4L2_SEL_FLAG_GE flags), then it is preferred by driver to round the
cropping parameters to nearest possible value by either rounding down or
rounding up to align with hardware requirements.

For e.g. If requested width for cropping region is 127 and HW requires
width to be multiple of 64 then we would prefer to round it up to 128
rather than rounding down to a more distant value (i.e. 64), but if
requested cropping width is 129 then we would prefer to instead round it
down to 128. But if requested cropping width is 160 then there are two
nearest possible values 160 - 32 = 128 and 160 + 32 = 192 and in which
case we prefer the smaller value as you suggested and that's why the
driver uses round_closest_down.

For any reason, if still the cropping rectangle falls beyond the bound
region, then driver will return out of range error (-ERANGE) to
application.
