imx219 driver indeed does not consider the OPB areas in the definition
of the rectangles...

Also looking at the X/Y_ADDR_START value assigned in the register tables
for full resolution mode (3280x2462) they have value of 0, indeed
meaning the active area is the only readable one.

Then yes, you're right, for imx219
NATIVE = effective
CROP_DEFAULT = BOUND = active

To actually verify if the 'effective area' is readable or not, we
should know what register controls the X/Y_ADDR_START value, and
that's an information I don't have in my version of the datasheet.

It's however plausible that it behaves the same as imx219, as the
driver's register sequences seems to program the crop sizes in
register 0x034c and 0x034e and there's not programmed top-left corner
there.

Ok then, let's be consistent and do the same as imx219 as you're doing
here.
