I do not know if it is documented somewhere. But it seems natural to me
that a sensor driver sets the type field to V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_CAPTURE
in its .g_crop(). A sensor is a capture device, not an output or overlay
device. And this ioctl is a query operation.

OTOH I'm fine with this type checking in .g_crop() and it can help
to discover bugs in user space apps. The VIDIOC_G_CROP documentation
states that the type field needs to be set to the respective buffer type
when querying, so the check in .g_crop() is perfectly valid. But then
I need following patch to fix the observed issue:

--- a/drivers/media/platform/soc_camera/soc_camera.c
+++ b/drivers/media/platform/soc_camera/soc_camera.c
@@ -902,6 +902,8 @@ static int soc_camera_s_crop(struct file *file, void *fh,
        dev_dbg(icd->pdev, "S_CROP(%ux%u@%u:%u)\n",
                rect->width, rect->height, rect->left, rect->top);
 
+       current_crop.type = a->type;
+
        /* If get_crop fails, we'll let host and / or client drivers decide */
        ret = ici->ops->get_crop(icd, &current_crop);
 
What do you think?

And the type field should be checked in .s_crop() anyway, I think.

Thanks,
Anatolij
