The panic notifier of this driver is very simple code-wise, just a
memory write to a special position with some numeric code. But this
is not clear from the semantic point-of-view, and there is no public
documentation about that either.

After discussing this in the mailing-lists [0] and having Florian
explained it very well, document that in the code for the future
generations asking the same questions. Also, while at it, remove
a useless header.
