If neither of the flags to round down (V4L2_SEL_FLAG_LE) or round up
(V4L2_SEL_FLAG_GE) are specified by the user, then round to nearest
multiple of requested value while updating the crop rectangle coordinates.

Use the rounding macro which gives preference to rounding down in case two
nearest values (high and low) are possible to raise the probability of
cropping rectangle falling inside the bound region.

This is arguable. How do we know that the bigger range is supported?
The safest side is to go smaller than bigger.

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the quick review.

Yes and that's what the driver does when do when application passes
V4L2_SEL_FLAG_LE while doing the selection. If application does not
specify explicitly whether to round down or round up the cropping
parameters requested by it (i.e app is neither passing V4L2_SEL_FLAG_LE
nor V4L2_SEL_FLAG_GE flags), then it is preferred by driver to round the
cropping parameters to nearest possible value by either rounding down or
rounding up to align with hardware requirements.

For e.g. If requested width for cropping region is 127 and HW requires
width to be multiple of 64 then we would prefer to round it up to 128
rather than rounding down to a more distant value (i.e. 64), but if
requested cropping width is 129 then we would prefer to instead round it
down to 128. But if requested cropping width is 160 then there are two
nearest possible values 160 - 32 = 128 and 160 + 32 = 192 and in which
case we prefer the smaller value as you suggested and that's why the
driver uses round_closest_down.

For any reason, if still the cropping rectangle falls beyond the bound
region, then driver will return out of range error (-ERANGE) to
application.

I would appreciate if this change was based on specification text, meaning
improving the next if that behaviour is undefined. We might not be able to fix
it everywhere, but we can recommend something.

Yes, this change is based on specification text. This complies with the
VIDIOC_G_SELECTION, VIDIOC_S_SELECTION ioctl description as documented in
v4l uapi [1] which means driver should choose crop rectangle as close as
possible if no flags are passed by user-space, as quoted below :

"``0`` - The driver can adjust the rectangle size freely and shall
 choose a crop/compose rectangle as close as possible to the requested
 one."

If the user-space has specific requirement to either round down, round up or
honor exact values, it should pass V4L2_SEL_FLAG_LE, V4L2_SEL_FLAG_GE or
V4L2_SEL_FLAG_LE | V4L2_SEL_FLAG_GE flags respectively.
