+ Selection targets
+
+ While the V4L2 selection
+ API and V4L2 subdev
+ selection APIs are very similar, there's one fundamental
+ difference between the two. On sub-device API, the selection
+ rectangle refers to the media bus format, and is bound to a
+ sub-device's pad. On the V4L2 interface the selection rectangles
+ refer to the in-memory pixel format.
