Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] Documentation: ABI: adl8113: add documentation

Add ABI documentation for the ADL8113 Low Noise Amplifier,
covering the 4 pin-selectable operating modes.

Signed-off-by: Antoniu Miclaus <antoniu.miclaus@...log.com>
---

Changes in v3:
- Replace "mode" attribute documentation with "signal_path" attribute
- Update descriptions to reflect separation of gain control (hardwaregain) and path control (signal_path)
- Add explanation of automatic bypass mode switching when selecting external paths
- Update attribute names from mode/mode_available to signal_path/signal_path_available
- Clarify that external paths enable connection of external components for filtering or amplification

+Description:
+		This attribute controls the signal routing path for the ADL8113
+		Low Noise Amplifier. The supported signal paths are:
+
+		* internal - Signal passes through internal path. Can be used with
+		  either amplifier mode (14dB gain) or bypass mode (0dB gain).
+
+		* external_a - Signal routes from RFIN to OUT_A and from IN_A to RFOUT
+		  (VA=0, VB=1). External components can be connected for filtering or
+		  additional amplification. Automatically switches to bypass mode (0dB).
+
+		* external_b - Signal routes from RFIN to OUT_B and from IN_B to RFOUT
+		  (VA=1, VB=0). External components can be connected for filtering or
+		  additional amplification. Automatically switches to bypass mode (0dB).
+
+		Note: Selecting an external path automatically sets the hardware gain
+		to 0dB (bypass mode) since external paths require bypass operation.

+Description:
+		Reading this attribute returns a space-separated list of all
+		available signal paths for the ADL8113 device. The available paths
+		may depend on the current gain mode (hardwaregain setting).
