Re-reading this I would rewrite this a bit:

if the hardware does not support composition or scaling, then this is always
equal to (0, 0)x(width of ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP``, height of ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP``).

" - 1"? Where does that come from?

Usually rectangles are specified as widthxheight@...t,top.

I have no problem with drivers optionally implementing these rectangles,
even if they don't do scaling or composition. The question is, should it
be required for decoders? If there is a good reason, then I'm OK with it.
