I believe we'll need the flipping controls as the sensor is mounted upside
down in some systems. The rotation is provided to the user space but it
remains up to the user space to configure the sensor accordingly.

If there's a need to adjust the digital crop rectangle, we'll probably need
the common raw sensor model patches for that. That's what the driver in
fact appears to be doing but I have to admit I didn't check that bit very
carefully.
