And where is the assumption that crop is applied to the input
documented ? Aren't there converter that allow to crop on the output
maybe -after- scaling ?

Cropping before or after scaling (or, if you want to put it different,
cropping on the input or on the output) are both possible options, and
this interface doesn't allow you to specify that.

You have wired the V4L2 converter to apply selection on the TGT_CROP
target on the input queue (aka on the 'output' video device, oh funny
names)

int V4L2M2MConverter::setCrop(const Stream *stream, Rectangle *rect)
{

	return iter->second->setSelection(V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP, rect);
}


int V4L2M2MConverter::V4L2M2MStream::setSelection(unsigned int target, Rectangle *rect)
{
	int ret = m2m_->output()->setSelection(target, rect);
	if (ret < 0)
		return ret;

	return 0;
}

Can't a converter expose a TGT_CROP target on the capture device to allow
userspace to apply a crop on the "final" image before returning it to
applications ?

Yes, but concepts like 'crop' and 'selection' might only apply to
certain types of converter, like the v4l2 m2m ones. I wonder if it is
better to provide a stub implementation in the whole hierarcy or only
expose such methods in the classes derived from, in example,
V4L2M2MConverter.

Only to the hierarchy of derived classes that supports it, like the
classes derived from V4L2M2MConverter (and the class itself). For some
other "converters" cropping and scaling might not make sense at all.
