+The API at http://v4l2spec.bytesex.org/spec/x1904.htm says:

-               scale_comb = ((5') - (5)) / max;

-4. Issue G_CROP to retrieve actual input window.
+We choose to follow the advise and interpret cropping units as client input
+pixels.

+Cropping is performed in the following 6 steps:
 
-9. Calculate sensor output subwindow to be cropped on CEU by applying sensor
-scales to the requested window.
+1. Request exactly user rectangle from the sensor.
 
-       width_ceu = ((5') - (5)) / scale_s
+2. If smaller - iterate until a larger one is obtained. Result: sensor cropped
+   to 2 : 2', target crop 5 : 5', current output format 6' - 6.
 
-10. Use CEU cropping for above calculated window.
+3. In the previous step the sensor has tried to preserve its output frame as
+   good as possible, but it could have changed. Retrieve it again.
 
-11. Calculate CEU scales from sensor scales from results of (10) and user window
-from (3)
+4. Sensor scaled to 3 : 3'. Sensor's scale is (2' - 2) / (3' - 3). Calculate
+   intermediate window: 4' - 4 = (5' - 5) * (3' - 3) / (2' - 2)
 
-       scale_ceu = calc_scale(((5') - (5)), &width_u_out)
+5. Calculate and apply host scale = (6' - 6) / (4' - 4)
 
-12. Apply CEU scales.
+6. Calculate and apply host crop: 6 - 7 = (5 - 2) * (6' - 6) / (5' - 5)
