This is what i added in documentation on v13


Device file node is created with format:-

/dev/mhi_<mhi_device_name>

mhi_device_name includes mhi controller name and the name of the MHI
channel being used by MHI client in userspace to send or receive data
using MHI protocol.


Loic's patch is going to update the controller name as indexed 
controller name, which goes fine with or without his change going first.

For example:   With Loic's change name of device node would be 
/dev/mhi_mhi0_QMI

Without Loic's change it would be

/dev/mhi_0000:00:01.2_QMI

Please let me know if i am missing something.

Thanks,
Hemant
