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. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
