docs: isdn: convert to ReST and add to kAPI bookset

The ISDN documentation is a mix of admin guide, uAPI and kAPI.

Ideally, it should be split. Yet, not sure if it would worth
the troble. Anyway, we have the same kind of mix on several
drivers specific documentation. So, just like the others, keep
the directory at the root Documentation/ tree, just adding a
pointer to it at the kAPI section, as the documentation was
written with the Kernel developers in mind.

The devices accept the following device specific ioctl calls
(defined in gigaset_dev.h):
ioctl(int fd, GIGASET_REDIR, int *cmd);
``ioctl(int fd, GIGASET_REDIR, int *cmd);``
If cmd==1, the device is set to be controlled exclusively through the

not communicate through the character device node.
ioctl(int fd, GIGASET_CONFIG, int *cmd);
``ioctl(int fd, GIGASET_CONFIG, int *cmd);``
(ser_gigaset and usb_gigaset only)
If cmd==1, the device is set to adapter configuration mode where commands
are interpreted by the M10x DECT adapter itself instead of being
forwarded to the base station. In this mode, the device accepts the
commands described in Siemens document "AT-Kommando Alignment M10x Data"
for setting the operation mode, associating with a base station and
querying parameters like field strengh and signal quality.
Note that there is no ioctl command for leaving adapter configuration
mode and returning to regular operation. In order to leave adapter
configuration mode, write the command ATO to the device.

3.2. Telling the driver to provide more information
----------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------
Building the driver with the "Gigaset debugging" kernel configuration
option (CONFIG_GIGASET_DEBUG) gives it the ability to produce additional
information useful for debugging.
You can control the amount of debugging information the driver produces by
writing an appropriate value to /sys/module/gigaset/parameters/debug, e.g.
echo 0 > /sys/module/gigaset/parameters/debug
writing an appropriate value to /sys/module/gigaset/parameters/debug,
e.g.::
echo 0 > /sys/module/gigaset/parameters/debug
switches off debugging output completely,
echo 0x302020 > /sys/module/gigaset/parameters/debug
::
echo 0x302020 > /sys/module/gigaset/parameters/debug
enables a reasonable set of debugging output messages. These values are
bit patterns where every bit controls a certain type of debugging output.
