USB: serial: mos7840: document MCS7810 detection hack
Document the MCS7810 detection hack which relies on having the GPO and GPI pins connected as recommended by ASIX. Note that GPO (pin 42) is really RTS of the third port which will be toggled for the corresponding physical port on two- and four-port devices.
