Is there anything in Documentation/networking/netdevices.txt about this to
avoid any future issues?  

You asked me about this last time, and I did not forget about it.

I sincerely lack the time to do a writeup about it, and I felt that
delaying the fix for another week or two until I find that magical
non-existing timeframe to write the docs was not beneficial for
users at all.

I could take a stab at it, but my writing skills are not great.
We don't need to delay for Documentation, in fact it is easier to write after
the cleanup.
