(flags & V4L2_BUF_FLAG_TIMESTAMP_MASK) is a value that determines the timestamp source, so these timestamp defines are values, not bitmasks. However, I don't like your approach. Whether to use MONOTONIC or BOOTTIME is really a userspace decision, and locking a driver to one of these two options seems wrong to me. Instead add new V4L2_BUF_FLAG_USE_BOOTTIME flag that userspace can set when queuing the buffer and that indicates that instead of the MONOTONIC timestamp, it should return the BOOTTIME timestamp. This requires a simple helper function that returns either ktime_get_ns or ktime_get_boottime_ns based on the vb2_v4l2_buffer flags field. It's definitely more work (although it can be limited to drivers that use vb2), but much more useful.
