"Until we switch to the selection API"? The subdev selection API is in
Mauro's tree already so I see no reason not to use it. Implementing new
functionality in a driver using API we've just marked obsolete is... not
pretty.

The compatibility code for the old crop ioctls exist, too, so you get
exactly the same functionality as well.

Is that supposed to work? At the very least least it does not follow the
spec.

Kind regards,
