ide: move wait_hwif_ready() documentation in the right place
* Move wait_hwif_ready() documentation before this function. * Fix trailing whitespaces. * s/wait-for-busy/wait-for-non-busy/ * Remove no longer valid comment about the current code behavior. * Docbook-ize it. * Rename wait_hwif_ready() to ide_port_wait_ready(). Acked-by: Sergei Shtylyov <sshtylyov@ru.mvista.com> Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com>
