Documentation update wrt pci_release_regions()?

Documentation update wrt pci_release_regions()?

[Andy Shevchenko]

Hi!

At some point I have stumbled over [1] which has a rightful confusion.
I tried to go through documentation we have and have no idea is that
behaviour have been fixed or not and if yes, in which kernel version.

Can we submit a patch against documentation to clarify the status of it?
Followup would be fix of hfi1 driver to drop confusion.

I would love it if somebody posted a patch to clarify this.  I don't
have time to research and formulate a patch right now, but if you want
to propose something, or open a bugzilla so we don't forget, that
would be great.

The first fix would be to change the reference to
pci_request_regions(), which doesn't exist.
