ALSA: dice: document quadlet alignment

Doing accesses without quadlet alignment is a bad idea because the
firmware's byte-swapping would garble the data; clarify this in the
documentation.

* Generally, all registers can be read like memory, i.e., with quadlet read or
* block read transactions with any alignment or length. Writes are not
* allowed except where noted; quadlet-sized registers must be written with
* a quadlet write transaction.
* block read transactions with at least quadlet-aligned offset and length.
* Writes are not allowed except where noted; quadlet-sized registers must be

* All values are in big endian. The DICE firmware runs on a little-endian CPU
* and just byte-swaps _all_ quadlets on the bus, so values without endianness
