I'm missing documentation for the new fence_fd field in struct v4l2_buffer.
Make sure to mention what value should be used if you don't set the IN_FENCE
flag.

This very short line looks weird.

I'd rephrase this:
"The driver will fill in the out-fence fd in the ``fence_fd`` field when
:ref:`VIDIOC_QBUF` returns."
For both flags you also need to be explicit in mentioning that the application
sets these flags before calling VIDIOC_QBUF. For other ioctls the driver just
reports these flags.
Also mention what happens if the fence can't be found or can't be created.
