[PATCH v2 2/3] media: Documentation: Add note about UVCH length field

[Ricardo Ribalda]

The documentation currently describes the UVC length field as the "length
of the rest of the block", which can be misleading. The driver limits the
data copied to a maximum of 12 bytes.

This change adds a clarifying sentence to the documentation to make this
restriction explicit.
