Hi,
in hdparm.c we already have:

/* Busybox messages and functions */
static int bb_ioctl(int fd, int request, void *argp, const char *string)
{
        int e = ioctl(fd, request, argp);
        if (e && string)
                bb_perror_msg(" %s", string);
        return e;
}

so that we can pass also an error message if needed, maybe this could be also

static int bb_ioctl(int fd, int request, void *argp, ...)
{
        va_list p;
        char *string;
        va_start(p, request);
        string = va_arg(va_list p,  (char *));
        
        int e = ioctl(fd, request, argp);
        if (e && string)
                bb_perror_msg(" %s", string);
        va_end(p);
        return e;
}

untested, just an idea.

Ciao,
Tito
