Hi experts, continuing the never-stoppable work on a v4l2 driver (woohoo, I have time), I was suddenly wondering whether the v4l2 spec allows 'automatic' as norm and/or input. Since one can define his/her own norms/inputs, it'd be easy as hell to set 'name' in v4l2_input to 'Automatic' and then set type to -1 or so. Also, one could set std.name to 'Automatic' in v4l2_enumstd, inputs/outputs both to 0 and std.numerator, std.denominator and std.colorstandard all to 0. Is this allowed or would you rather have the application do autodetection by trial-and-error (i.e. set input from 0 to X and do VIDIOC_G_TUNER until signal>0 in v4l2_tuner, and then change norm until signal has the highest value), where the driver only does essential tasks and doesn't have too many bells&whistles?
Oh, and lastly, I'm still wondering about what the values in v4l2_cropcap are supposed to mean. Is anyone using this in his/her driver or am I the first? http://www.thedirks.org/v4l2/ is silent about this ioctl, and there aren't any helpful commands concerning this ioctl in videodev2.h either. struct v4l2_cropcap { __u32 capability; int min_x; int min_y; int max_x; int max_y; int default_left; int default_top; int default_right; int default_bottom; __u32 reserved[2]; }; default_* are (I guess) the default values, i.e. the full frame for most drivers (left=0,top=0,right=768/640/720,bottom=480/576), but what are {min,max}_[xy]? Minimal and maximal width/height of the unscaled cropped frame? Or something with x and y offset (what?)? and what am I supposed to put into capability?
