drm/debugfs: Add kerneldoc
I've decided to not document drm_debugfs_remove_files, it's on the way out. The biggest part is a huge todo.rst entry with what all should be improved. v2: Nits from Gabriel.

+Clean up the debugfs support
+----------------------------
+
+There's a bunch of issues with it:
+
+- The drm_info_list ->show() function doesn't even bother to cast to the drm
+ structure for you. This is lazy.
+
+- We probably want to have some support for debugfs files on crtc/connectors and
+ maybe other kms objects directly in core. There's even drm_print support in
+ the funcs for these objects to dump kms state, so it's all there. And then the
+ ->show() functions should obviously give you a pointer to the right object.
+
+- The drm_info_list stuff is centered on drm_minor instead of drm_device. For
+ anything we want to print drm_device (or maybe drm_file) is the right thing.
+
+- The drm_driver->debugfs_init hooks we have is just an artifact of the old
+ midlayered load sequence. DRM debugfs should work more like sysfs, where you
+ can create properties/files for an object anytime you want, and the core
+ takes care of publishing/unpuplishing all the files at register/unregister
+ time. Drivers shouldn't need to worry about these technicalities, and fixing
+ this (together with the drm_minor->drm_device move) would allow us to remove
+ debugfs_init.
