That doesn't work: G and S_SELECTION are IOWR, so the driver can modify the
rectangles and those will have to be passed back to userspace. So you cannot
just change the contents of struct v4l2_selection.

Negative width/height values are completely out of spec. No driver supports that, and
as you say, we have vflip/hflip for mirroring.
