I'm not sure all Android HAL metadata tags should be 1-to-1 implemented in 
V4L2. Some of them can be derived from existing information, some are even 
more relevant to the HAL, then to the camera (kernel driver). E.g. 
wouldn't it be possible and make sense to calculate 
android.scaler.availableMaxDigitalZoom camera cropping capabilities?

Thanks
