Since there isn't any docbook code anymore upstream,
we can get rid of several output formats:

- docbook/xml, html, html5 and list formats were used by
  the old build system;
- As ReST is text, there's not much sense on outputting
  on a different text format.

After this patch, only man and rst output formats are
supported.

`Documentation/i2c/dev-interface` gives examples for accessing i2c from
userspace.

There's a note that warns developers about the two `i2c-dev.h` header
files which were shipped with the kernel and i2c-tools separately.

However, following i2c-tools commits suggest that the header files are now
identical (in functionality) and `i2c_*` helper functions are now defined
in a separate header called `i2c/smbus.h`, which is distributed with
i2c-tools:

commit 652619121974 ("Minimize differences with kernel flavor")
commit 93caf007f4cb ("Move SMBus helper functions to include/i2c/smbus.h")

Thus, I've converted the warning paragraph into a historical note and
updated the suggested header files.

Onewire devices has 6 byte long unique serial numbers, 1 byte family
code and 1 byte CRC. Linux sysfs presents the device folder in the
form of familyID-deviceID, so CRC is not shown. The consequence is
that the device serial number is always a 12 long hex-string, but
doc says 13 in one place. This is corrected by this change.

There is currently very little documentation in the kernel on maintainer
level tasks. In particular there are no documents on creating pull
requests to submit to Linus.

Quoting Greg Kroah-Hartman on LKML:

    Anyway, this actually came up at the kernel summit / maintainer
    meeting a few weeks ago, in that "how do I make a
    good pull request to Linus" is something we need to document.

    Here's what I do, and it seems to work well, so maybe we should turn
    it into the start of the documentation for how to do it.

(quote references: kernel summit, Europe 2017)

Create a new kernel documentation book 'how to be a maintainer'
(suggested by Jonathan Corbet). Add chapters on 'configuring git' and
'creating a pull request'.

Most of the content was written by Linus Torvalds and Greg Kroah-Hartman
in discussion on LKML. This is stated at the start of one of the
chapters and the original email thread is referenced in
'pull-requests.rst'.

On media, we now have an struct declared with:

struct lirc_fh {

        struct rc_dev *rc;
        int                             carrier_low;

        u8                              send_mode;
        u8                              rec_mode;
};

gpiolib.c has a similar declaration with DECLARE_KFIFO().

Currently, those produce the following error:

	./include/media/rc-core.h:96: warning: No description found for parameter 'int'
	./include/media/rc-core.h:96: warning: No description found for parameter 'lirc_scancode'
	./include/media/rc-core.h:96: warning: Excess struct member 'rawir' description in 'lirc_fh'

	../drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c:601: warning: No description found for parameter '16'
	../drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c:601: warning: Excess struct member 'events' description in 'lineevent_state'

So, teach kernel-doc how to parse DECLARE_KFIFO() and DECLARE_KFIFO_PTR().

While here, relax at the past DECLARE_foo() macros, accepting a random
number of spaces after comma.
