Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] pci: update to doc to use 'pci_channel_state_t'

The type used to describe the PCI channel state is a combination
of a bitwise typedef 'pci_channel_state_t' and an enumeration
of constant __force casted to this typedef: enum pci_channel_state.

It's a bit complex and quite ugly because:
* in C enums are weakly typed (they're essentially the same as 'int')
* sparse only allow to define bitwise ints, not bitwise enums.
But the idea is clearly to enforce typechecking and thus to
use 'pci_channel_state_t' everywhere.

So, update the documentation to use 'pci_chanell_state_t' and hide
'enum pci_channel_state' by showing a simplified but somehow equivalent
definition:
	typedef enum { ... } pci_channel_state_t;
which makes abstraction of the '__bitwise' which would otherwise
just bring unneeded complications here.
