It may or may not be a good idea.\n\nChanges in v4:\n- Rebased.\n- Comments in both the GPU and CPU ISPs simplified and unified.\n- The declared purpose shifted from speedup to using a more relevant\n  area for gathering the statistics.\n- Changed to RFC due to the shifted purpose.\n\nChanges in v3:\n- Rectangle::croppedBy() dropped, already available methods used instead.\n- The cropping is applied also in CPU debayering for consistency.\n\nChanges in v2:\n- Safer implementation of Rectangle::croppedBy() as suggested by Kieran.\n- Test added for Rectangle::croppedBy().\n- The comment about not passing x,y clarified.\n\nMilan Zamazal (1):\n  libcamera: software_isp: Reduce statistics image area\n\n src/libcamera/software_isp/debayer_cpu.cpp | 10 +++-------\n src/libcamera/software_isp/debayer_egl.cpp |  6 +++---\n 2 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-)"
