Subject: [PATCH 3/4] Documentation: ABI: Document SteelSeries headset sysfs attributes
Replace the SRW-S1 specific documentation with comprehensive
documentation for the hid-steelseries driver covering both the legacy
SRW-S1 wheel and the modern Arctis headset lineup.
New sysfs attributes documented:
- sidetone_level: Control microphone monitoring volume
- inactive_time: Auto-sleep timeout configuration
- chatmix_level: Game/Chat audio balance (read-only)
- mic_mute_led_brightness: Microphone mute LED brightness control
- mic_volume: Internal microphone gain control
- volume_limiter: EU hearing protection volume limiter
- bluetooth_on_power: Bluetooth auto-enable on power-on
- bluetooth_call_vol: Bluetooth call audio attenuation settings
The SRW-S1 LED documentation is preserved and moved into the new unified
documentation file.
