docs: net: dsa: add more info about the other arguments to get_tag_protocol
Changes were made to the prototype of get_tag_protocol without describing at a high level what they are about. Update the documentation to explain that. Fixes: 5ed4e3eb0217 ("net: dsa: Pass a port to get_tag_protocol()") Fixes: 4d776482ecc6 ("net: dsa: Get information about stacked DSA protocol") Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Reviewed-by: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
