[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v3 1/7] v4l2: v4l2_compat_manager: Don't print "camera not found" on openat()

Some applications (like Firefox) run open() many times on video device
nodes. This may lead to user confusion when they see "INFO V4L2Compat
v4l2_compat_manager.cpp:146 No camera found for /dev/videoX" over and
over again.

Lower the log level to debug so that we can still get this information
on debug, and so users won't see it all the time.
