The sensor drivers do not configure the output size of the sensors but the
entire internal pipeline. Reflect this in the documentation.

+Camera sensors have an internal processing pipeline including cropping and
+binning functionality. The sensor drivers belong to two distinct classes, freely
+configurable and register list-based drivers, depending on how the driver
+configures this functionality.
