Maybe the lack of context around the patch doesn't make it clear, but this is
to disable the ioctls for decoders (not encoders), which don't need to use the
selection API. This keeps the ioctls enabled and available for all encoders.

I am well aware that this is required to setup the crop in the coded bitstream
and I am definitely using it in my encoding work :)
