Subject: [PATCH 12/53] docs: driver-api: avoid using UTF-8 chars

While UTF-8 characters can be used at the Linux documentation,
the best is to use them only when ASCII doesn't offer a good replacement.
So, replace the occurences of the following UTF-8 characters:

	- U+00a0 (' '): NO-BREAK SPACE
	- U+2014 ('—'): EM DASH
