media: v4l: fwnode: Update V4L2 fwnode endpoint parsing documentation
The semantics of v4l2_fwnode_endpoint_parse() and
v4l2_fwnode_endpoint_alloc_parse() have changed slightly: they now take
the bus type from the user as well as a default configuration for the bus
that shall reflect the DT binding defaults. Document this.
