Add linkstation-reset doc to describe the newly added
POWER_RESET_LINKSTATION driver, which controls magic command
sending to UART1 to power-off Buffalo Linkstation / KuroBox
and their variants.

+* Buffalo Linkstation Reset Driver
+
+Power of some Buffalo Linkstation or KuroBox Pro is managed by
+micro-controller, which connects to UART1. After being fed from UART1
+by a few magic numbers, the so-called power-off command,
+the micro-controller will turn power off the device.
This needs to model the uC connected to the UART rather than some node 
that defines only some portion of the functionality. I'm working on 
bindings and proper bus support for this[1], but it's not done yet. 
Though, the binding side is pretty simple.
