[PATCH for-4.16 1/3] sysfs: improve devices-coredump description with user-space perspective

[Arend van Spriel]

Instead of referring to kernel internals, describe the ABI from user-space
perspective to clarify what can be expected when using it.

 Description:
-		The /sys/devices/.../coredump attribute is only present when the
-		device is bound to a driver, which provides the .coredump()
-		callback. The attribute is write only. Anything written to this
-		file will trigger the .coredump() callback.
+		When present the /sys/devices/.../coredump attribute can be used
+		to trigger a coredump of the device. The coredump contents are
+		device driver specific and thus vary. The coredump attribute is
+		writeonly. Anything written to this file will trigger creation
+		of the coredump. When the coredump is made available under
+		/sys/class/devcoredump it will generate a uevent. When the
+		coredump can not be successfully generated no ueven will occur.

-		Available when CONFIG_DEV_COREDUMP is enabled.
+		Available when CONFIG_DEV_COREDUMP is enabled and the device
+		driver supports coredump generation.
