drm/doc: Clarify mode_fixup vs. atomic_check a bit more
Brought up by both Laurent and Andrzej when reviewing the new ->mode_valid hooks. Since mode_fixup is just a simpler version of the much more generic atomic_check we can't really unify it with mode_valid. Most drivers should probably switch their current mode_fixup code to either the new mode_valid or the atomic_check hooks, but e.g. that doesn't exist yet for bridges, and for CRTCs the situation is a bit more complicated. Hence there's no clear equivalence between mode_fixup and mode_valid, even if it looks like that at first glance. v2: Fix accidental double-dot (Adnrzej).
