[PATCH v3 4/5] Documentation: Correction in HID output_report callback description.

From: Dmitry Antipov <hidden>
Date: 2022-01-15 02:31:50
Also in: linux-input, linux-spi
Subsystem: documentation, hid core layer, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Jiri Kosina, Benjamin Tissoires, Linus Torvalds

From: Dmitry Antipov <redacted>

Originally output_report callback was described as must-be asynchronous,
but that is not the case in some implementations, namely i2c-hid.
Correct the documentation to say that it may be asynchronous.
