Selection flag definitions
Flag name id Definition Valid for V4L2 Valid for V4L2 subdev
V4L2_SEL_FLAG_GE (1 << 0) Suggest the driver it should choose greater or equal rectangle (in size) than was requested. Albeit the driver may choose a lesser size, it will only do so due to hardware limitations. Without this flag (and V4L2_SEL_FLAG_LE) the behaviour is to choose the closest possible rectangle. Yes Yes
V4L2_SEL_FLAG_LE (1 << 1) Suggest the driver it should choose lesser or equal rectangle (in size) than was requested. Albeit the driver may choose a greater size, it will only do so due to hardware limitations. Yes Yes
V4L2_SEL_FLAG_KEEP_CONFIG (1 << 2) The configuration must not be propagated to any further processing steps. If this flag is not given, the configuration is propagated inside the subdevice to all further processing steps. No Yes
