Right, this sentence does imply that when scaling is supported, there
must be a sink compose rectangle, even when composing is not.

I have previously set up scaling like this:

media-ctl --set-v4l2 "'ipu1_csi0_mux':2[fmt:UYVY2X8/1920x1080 at 1/60]"
media-ctl --set-v4l2 "'ipu1_csi0':2[fmt:AYUV32/960x540 at 1/30]"

Does this mean, it should work like this instead?

media-ctl --set-v4l2 "'ipu1_csi0_mux':2[fmt:UYVY2X8/1920x1080 at 1/60]"
media-ctl --set-v4l2 "'ipu1_csi0':0[fmt:UYVY2X8/1920x1080 at 1/60,compose:(0,0)/960x540]"
media-ctl --set-v4l2 "'ipu1_csi0':2[fmt:AYUV32/960x540 at 1/30]"

I suppose setting the source pad format should not be allowed to modify
the sink compose rectangle.
