spi kerneldoc update



This adds kerneldoc to the SPI framework.  The "spi_driver" and
"spi_board_info" structs were previously not described.

 * struct spi_driver - Host side "protocol" driver
 * @probe: Binds this driver to the spi device.  Drivers can verify
 *	that the device is actually present, and may need to configure
 *	characteristics (such as bits_per_word) which weren't needed for
 *	the initial configuration done during system setup.
 * @remove: Unbinds this driver from the spi device
 * @shutdown: Standard shutdown callback used during system state
 *	transitions such as powerdown/halt and kexec
 * @suspend: Standard suspend callback used during system state transitions
 * @resume: Standard resume callback used during system state transitions
 * @driver: SPI device drivers should initialize the name and owner
 *	field of this structure.
 *
 * This represents the kind of device driver that uses SPI messages to
 * interact with the hardware at the other end of a SPI link.  It's called
 * a "protocol" driver because it works through messages rather than talking
 * directly to SPI hardware (which is what the underlying SPI controller
 * driver does to pass those messages).  These protocols are defined in the
 * specification for the device(s) supported by the driver.
 *
 * As a rule, those device protocols represent the lowest level interface
 * supported by a driver, and it will support upper level interfaces too.
 * Examples of such upper levels include frameworks like MTD, networking,
 * MMC, RTC, filesystem character device nodes, and hardware monitoring.

/**
 * struct spi_board_info - board-specific template for a SPI device
 * @modalias: Initializes spi_device.modalias; identifies the driver.
 * @platform_data: Initializes spi_device.platform_data; the particular
 *	data stored there is driver-specific.
 * @controller_data: Initializes spi_device.controller_data; some
 *	controllers need hints about hardware setup, e.g. for DMA.
 * @irq: Initializes spi_device.irq; depends on how the board is wired.
 * @max_speed_hz: Initializes spi_device.max_speed_hz; based on limits
 *	from the chip datasheet and board-specific signal quality issues.
 * @bus_num: Identifies which spi_master parents the spi_device; unused
 *	by spi_new_device(), and otherwise depends on board wiring.
 * @chip_select: Initializes spi_device.chip_select; depends on how
 *	the board is wired.
 * @mode: Initializes spi_device.mode; based on the chip datasheet, board
 *	wiring (some devices support both 3WIRE and standard modes), and
 *	possibly presence of an inverter in the chipselect path.
 *
 * When adding new SPI devices to the device tree, these structures serve
 * as a partial device template.  They hold information which can't always
 * be determined by drivers.  Information that probe() can establish (such
 * as the default transfer wordsize) is not included here.
 *
 * These structures are used in two places.  Their primary role is to
 * be stored in tables of board-specific device descriptors, which are
 * declared early in board initialization and then used (much later) to
 * populate a controller's device tree after the that controller's driver
 * initializes.  A secondary (and atypical) role is as a parameter to
 * spi_new_device() call, which happens after those controller drivers
 * are active in some dynamic board configuration models.
