Hi Sakari
  thanks for the update

I think this last line "The resulting image size is further output by
the sensor." doesn't apply anymore now that we have [digital crop +
digital scaling + post-scaling crop].

"to the digital crop rectangle." maybe ?

I would introduce the (optional) presence of an additional post-scaler
digital crop step explicitly, also I get this is kind of rare feature,
isn't it ?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The digital scaling operation is performed after the digital crop. It
is configured by setting the ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_COMPOSE`` rectangle on
(pad, stream) pair 0/0, relative to the digital crop rectangle.

The sensor's output mbus code is configured by setting the format on the (pad,
stream) pair 0/0. An optional post-scaler crop step might be performed by
specifying a width and height smaller than the digital scaling
rectangle. If post-scaler cropping is not supported the format's sizes
will always match the compose rectangle sizes applied on the same 0/0
(pad, stream) pair.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I didn't get when we spoke about it where the "affecting the right
side and bottom of the frame" comes from when talking about
post-scaler cropping.

"Digital scaling" ? or is not necessary ?
