Some sensors have optical blanking areas, this is, pixels that are
painted and do not account for light, only noise.
These special pixels are very useful for calibrating the sensor, but
should not be displayed on a DEFAULT target.

This isn't relevant for the compose default.

The padding refers to the dimensions of the memory buffer. I don't think the
intent is to support that on sub-devices, is it?
Please just change the CROP_DEFAULT, not the rest.
