Subject: [PATCH v11 3/4] media: pixfmt: Add H264_SLICE_RAW format documentation

From: Maxime Ripard <maxime.ripard@...tlin.com>

The H264_SLICE_RAW format introduced before is meant for stateless
decoders that will need the H264 parsed slice data without the start code.

Let's document it.

+	one output and one capture buffer must be provided for use
+	with this pixel format. The output buffer must contain the
+	appropriate number of macroblocks to decode a full
