firewire: cdev: some clarifications to the API documentation
Response events:
- are generated on more occasions than their documentation claimed.
CSR allocation:
- An already occupied CSR can be determined from errno==EBUSY.
Bus resets:
- Note that FW_CDEV_IOC_INITIATE_BUS_RESET is nonblocking and that the
client is not required to observe a grace period since kernels
2.6.36+ will enforce it now (commit 02d37bed).
- The possible values of fw_cdev_initiate_bus_reset.type are listed in
the kerneldoc comment already.
- Clarify that an application that uses FW_CDEV_IOC_ADD_DESCRIPTOR and
FW_CDEV_IOC_REMOVE_DESCRIPTOR does not have to issue a bus reset.
Isochronous I/O contexts:
- At most one can be created per open file descriptor.
