I think these functions (including timeDiff below) should be wrapped in
an annoymous namespace for the libcamera code style.

But as the timeDiff is already in this form - they can both be converted
after. (or before if you want to do the fix up)

This could be rewrapped easily

			LOG(Debayer, Error)
				<< "Syncing buffer FD " << fd << "failed: " << errno;

But we can't reference errno directly from LOG() either, as mentioned in
the previous version:

Easiest cleanup is probably:

		int ret;

		ret = ioctl(fd, DMA_BUF_IOCTL_SYNC, &sync);
		if (ret < 0) {
			ret = errno;
			LOG(Debayer, Error)
				<< "Syncing buffer FD " << fd << "failed: "
				<< strerror(-ret);

		}

Could also print the sync flags too to know which one has failed?

With that handled:
