Subject: [PATCH net-next 08/11] net: hns3: add comments for hclge_dbg_fill_content()

From: Hao Chen <chenhao288@...ilicon.com>

When we use hclge_dbg_fill_content() to fill contents with
specific format according to struct hclge_dbg_item *items,
it may cause content cover due to unreasonable items.

So add comments to explain how to avoid it.
