[PATCH v5 6/6] Documentation: usb: Document FunctionFS DMABUF API

[Paul Cercueil <paul@crapouillou.net>]

Add documentation for the three ioctls used to attach or detach
externally-created DMABUFs, and to request transfers from/to previously
attached DMABUFs.

 How FunctionFS works
 ====================
 
+Overview
+========
+
 From kernel point of view it is just a composite function with some
 unique behaviour.  It may be added to an USB configuration only after
 the user space driver has registered by writing descriptors and

 Conversely, the gadget is unregistered after the first USB function
 closes its endpoints.
+
+DMABUF interface
+================
+
+FunctionFS additionally supports a DMABUF based interface, where the
+userspace can attach DMABUF objects (externally created) to an endpoint,
+and subsequently use them for data transfers.
+
+A userspace application can then use this interface to share DMABUF
+objects between several interfaces, allowing it to transfer data in a
+zero-copy fashion, for instance between IIO and the USB stack.
+
+As part of this interface, three new IOCTLs have been added. These three
+IOCTLs have to be performed on a data endpoint (ie. not ep0). They are:
+
+  ``FUNCTIONFS_DMABUF_ATTACH(int)``
+    Attach the DMABUF object, identified by its file descriptor, to the
+    data endpoint. Returns zero on success, and a negative errno value
+    on error.
+
+  ``FUNCTIONFS_DMABUF_DETACH(int)``
+    Detach the given DMABUF object, identified by its file descriptor,
+    from the data endpoint. Returns zero on success, and a negative
+    errno value on error. Note that closing the endpoint's file
+    descriptor will automatically detach all attached DMABUFs.
+
+  ``FUNCTIONFS_DMABUF_TRANSFER(struct usb_ffs_dmabuf_transfer_req *)``
+    Enqueue the previously attached DMABUF to the transfer queue.
+    The argument is a structure that packs the DMABUF's file descriptor,
+    the size in bytes to transfer (which should generally correspond to
+    the size of the DMABUF), and a 'flags' field which is unused
+    for now. Returns zero on success, and a negative errno value on
+    error.
