[Laurent Pinchart]

Improve the documentation of the ddc field by using DDC and I2C
consistently, and explaining more clearly what the field points to.

DDC is carried by two signals (at least for DDC2, the mostly
unimplemented DDC1 used a single signal), so "carries DDC signals" seems
appropriate to me.
