Add kerneldoc comments for the subdev_8255_init() and
subdev_8255_mm_init() functions and remove the other comment about how
to use this module in a comedi driver.

-   This file contains an exported subdevice for driving an 8255.
-
-   To use this subdevice as part of another driver, you need to
-   set up the subdevice in the attach function of the driver by
-   calling:
-
-     subdev_8255_init(device, subdevice, io_function, iobase)
-
-   device and subdevice are pointers to the device and subdevice
-   structures.  io_function will be called to provide the
-   low-level input/output to the device, i.e., actual register
-   access.  io_function will be called with the value of iobase
-   as the last parameter.  If the 8255 device is mapped as 4
-   consecutive I/O ports, you can use NULL for io_function
-   and the I/O port base for iobase, and an internal function will
-   handle the register access.
-
-   In addition, if the main driver handles interrupts, you can
-   enable commands on the subdevice by calling subdev_8255_init_irq()
-   instead.  Then, when you get an interrupt that is likely to be
-   from the 8255, you should call subdev_8255_interrupt(), which
-   will copy the latched value to a Comedi buffer.
