docs: usb: rename files to .rst and add them to drivers-api
While there are a mix of things here, most of the stuff
were written from Kernel developer's PoV. So, add them to
the driver-api book.
A follow up for this patch would be to move documents from
there that are specific to sysadmins, adding them to the
admin-guide.

This driver must be +used by your favorite application to pilot the IUU + +This driver is still in beta stage, so bugs can +occur and your system may freeze. As far I now, +I never had any problem with it, but I'm not a real +guru, so don't blame me if your system is unstable + +You can plug more than one IUU. Every unit will +have his own device file(/dev/ttyUSB0,/dev/ttyUSB1,...) + + + +How to tune the reader speed? +============================= + + A few parameters can be used at load time + To use parameters, just unload the module if it is + already loaded and use modprobe iuu_phoenix param=value. + In case of prebuilt module, use the command + insmod iuu_phoenix param=value. + + Example:: + + modprobe iuu_phoenix clockmode=3 + + The parameters are: + +clockmode: + 1=3Mhz579,2=3Mhz680,3=6Mhz (int) +boost: + overclock boost percent 100 to 500 (int) +cdmode: + Card detect mode + 0=none, 1=CD, 2=!CD, 3=DSR, 4=!DSR, 5=CTS, 6=!CTS, 7=RING, 8=!RING (int) +xmas: + xmas color enabled or not (bool) +debug: + Debug enabled or not (bool) + +- clockmode will provide 3 different base settings commonly adopted by + different software: + + 1. 3Mhz579 + 2. 3Mhz680 + 3. 6Mhz + +- boost provide a way to overclock the reader ( my favorite :-) ) + For example to have best performance than a simple clockmode=3, try this:: + + modprobe boost=195 + + This will put the reader in a base of 3Mhz579 but boosted a 195 % ! + the real clock will be now : 6979050 Hz ( 6Mhz979 ) and will increase + the speed to a score 10 to 20% better than the simple clockmode=3 !!! + + +- cdmode permit to setup the signal used to inform the userland ( ioctl answer ) + if the card is present or not.
