media: docs: uAPI: Clarify error documentation for invalid 'which' value
Invalid values for the 'which' field of structures passed to multiple subdev ioctls result in an EINVAL error being returned. The documentation of the corresponding ioctls indicates this with sentences such as the following: the ``which`` field references a non-existing format This is confusing. Clarify the documentation.
