How the hardware's going to support this? There is simply no way to
pass these flags to the firmware, the values already overlap with
auto-controls. So I guess these flags are for the driver (C code).
uvcvideo driver is not doing any "lesser or equal rectangle" magic
for ROI. No such thing is defined by UVC spec.

I can move these flags to entirely different value range and do
remapping to uvc auto-controls values in uvcvideo.
