Doc: use misc-devices/ dir for drivers
We have a directory for misc drivers documentation, let's use it.

This solution is also useful in those systems -where the micro controller is connected via special GPIOs pins. - -References ----------- - -The C2 Interface main references are at (http://www.silabs.com) -Silicon Laboratories site], see: - -- AN127: FLASH Programming via the C2 Interface at -http://www.silabs.com/public/documents/tpub_doc/anote/Microcontrollers/Small_Form_Factor/en/an127.pdf, and - -- C2 Specification at -http://www.silabs.com/public/documents/tpub_doc/spec/Microcontrollers/en/C2spec.pdf, - -however it implements a two wire serial communication protocol (bit -banging) designed to enable in-system programming, debugging, and -boundary-scan testing on low pin-count Silicon Labs devices.
