V4L/DVB (10980): doc: improve the v4l2-framework documentation.

Emphasize the need to call i2c_set_adapdata and clarify the use of the
chipid in v4l2_i2c_new_(probed_)device().

If all goes well, then it registers the subdev with the v4l2_device. It gets
the v4l2_device by calling i2c_get_adapdata(adapter), so you should make sure
that adapdata is set to v4l2_device when you setup the i2c_adapter in your
driver.

You can also use v4l2_i2c_new_probed_subdev() which is very similar to
v4l2_i2c_new_subdev(), except that it has an array of possible I2C addresses

Both functions return NULL if something went wrong.
Note that the chipid you pass to v4l2_i2c_new_(probed_)subdev() is usually
the same as the module name. It allows you to specify a chip variant, e.g.
"saa7114" or "saa7115". In general though the i2c driver autodetects this.
The use of chipid is something that needs to be looked at more closely at a
later date. It differs between i2c drivers and as such can be confusing.
To see which chip variants are supported you can look in the i2c driver code
for the i2c_device_id table. This lists all the possibilities.
