I don't think you'd really lose anything if the compiler didn't inline it.
It's a non-issue anyway.

The CROP selection rectangle is the interface to configure crop an area from
the parent rectangle (NATIVE_SIZE in this case). Using the format to change
cropping in pre-defined ways is quite hackish.

HBLANK would be read-only since the register list that you have might
contain dependencies to the horizontal blanking so you can't change that.
The VBLANK control, instead, should not be read-only to allow controlling
the frame rate and also controlling the exposure without affecting the frame
rate.

The V4L2 control framework calls the s_ctrl() callback in the driver to set
control values. The driver however doesn't know how many controls there will
be to set or when the last control of the set would be conveyed to the
driver. To use the grouped parameter hold meaningfully this information is
needed.

Ah, that seems much better indeed!

I don't think the extra local variable assigned and used once really helps,
but ok for me.
