'struct usb_device_id' is not modified in these drivers.
Constifying this structure moves some data to a read-only section, so
increase overall security.
In order to do that, struct dvb_usb_device_description (in dvb-usb.h) also
needs to be updated.
On a x86_64, with allmodconfig, as an example:
Before:

Those documents don't really describe the driver API.
Instead, they contain development-specific information.
Yet, as the main index file describes the content of it as:
"how specific kernel subsystems work
from the point of view of a kernel developer"
It seems to be the better fit.

Soon my dibcom.fr/parrot.com-address won't respond anymore.
Thus I'm replacing it. And, while being at it,
let's adapt some other (old) email-addresses as well.
