Sorry for the late reply again. Please see my reply inline.

Yes. I'd call it crop_rect and it can be simplified further into:

ct->out_q.crop_rect = s->r;

That's correct. The operation ends when the number of CAPTURE buffers
dequeued is the same as the number of OUTPUT buffers queued.

Okay, thanks for double checking. Please add a comment to the code that it
is a hardware requirement.

Sorry, I think I misread the driver code. It looks like there is a code
that parses the JPEG header from the source buffer called from
mtk_jpeg_dec_buf_queue() and that is the moment the driver detects the new
resolution. Then it only signals the event once all the previously queued
frames have been decoded, i.e. when the first new resolution frame gets to
device_run(). I think the current code should be fine then. Sorry for
confusion again!

That's strange. There is no VFL_TYPE_GRABBER in 5.7 anymore:
