V4L/DVB (9209): v4l2: add comment to the v4l2-i2c-drv headers.
Looking at these headers as they appear in the kernel makes you
wonder why it is done that way. Refer to the v4l-dvb repository
where the full unstripped header can be found to understand the
reasoning behind this.

+ * If you look at the full version then you will understand the reason
