media: admin-guide/media/cec.rst: update CEC debugging doc
The documentation on how to create your own Raspberry Pi CEC debugger was a bit out of date. Update it to the Raspberry Pi 4B, drop the mention of the RTC and a link to a picture that no longer works. Also reorganize the text to make it easier to follow and change the pins to match the pins I use.

-I also added an RTC and a breakout shield:
+The video quality is variable and certainly not enough to pass-through 4kp60
+(594 MHz) video. You might be able to support 4kp30, but more likely you will
+be limited to 1080p60 (148.5 MHz). But for CEC testing that is fine.

can get similar things).
+The ground pin of the HDMI connector needs to be connected to a ground

The CEC pin of the HDMI connector needs to be connected to these pins:
-CE0/IO8 and CE1/IO7 (pull-up GPIOs). The (optional) HPD pin of the HDMI
-connector should be connected (via a level shifter to convert the 5V
-to 3.3V) to these pins: IO17 and IO27. The (optional) 5V pin of the HDMI
-connector should be connected (via a level shifter) to these pins: IO22
-and IO24. Monitoring the HPD an 5V lines is not necessary, but it is helpful.

+This device tree addition in ``arch/arm/boot/dts/bcm2711-rpi-4-b.dts``

-This kernel patch will hook up the cec-gpio driver correctly to

+ cec-gpios = <&gpio 6 (GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH|GPIO_OPEN_DRAIN)>;
+ hpd-gpios = <&gpio 23 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;

- };
+If you haven't hooked up the HPD and/or 5V lines, then just delete those
+lines.
This dts change will enable two cec GPIO devices: I typically use one to
send/receive CEC commands and the other to monitor. If you monitor using
an unconfigured CEC adapter then it will use GPIO interrupts which makes
monitoring very accurate.
+If you just want to monitor traffic, then a single instance is sufficient.
+The minimum configuration is one HDMI female-female passthrough connector
+and two female-female breadboard wires: one for connecting the HDMI ground
+pin to a ground pin on the Raspberry Pi, and the other to connect the HDMI
+CEC pin to GPIO 6 on the Raspberry Pi.

The documentation on how to use the error injection is here: :ref:`cec_pin_error_inj`.
``cec-ctl --monitor-pin`` will do low-level CEC bus sniffing and analysis.
