Since a path can also be obtained from other functions like
of_icc_get() or of_icc_get_by_index(), maybe it would be better to
describe it simply as:

* @path: interconnect path

This would also keep it consistent with neighboring functions such as
icc_set_bw() and icc_get_name().

Since __icc_enable() explicitly returns 0 when path is NULL, it might
be a bit clearer to mention the return value explicitly, e.g.:

Passing a NULL @path is a no-op and returns 0.
