-      description: |
-        The pixel array region(s) which contain optical black pixels
-        considered valid for calibration purposes.
-
-        This property describes the position and size of optical black pixel
-        regions in the raw data buffer as stored in memory, which might differ
-        from their actual physical location in the pixel array matrix.
-
-        It is important to note, in fact, that camera sensors might
-        automatically reorder or skip portions of their pixels array matrix when
-        transmitting data to the receiver. For instance, a sensor may merge the
-        top and bottom optical black rectangles into a single rectangle,
-        transmitted at the beginning of the frame.
-
-        The pixel array contains several areas with different purposes,
-        interleaved by lines and columns which are said not to be valid for
-        capturing purposes. Invalid lines and columns are defined as invalid as
-        they could be positioned too close to the chip margins or to the optical
-        black shielding placed on top of optical black pixels.
