Mauro Carvalho Chehab 64e4954619 doc-rst: linux_tv: remove trailing comments
The conversion script added some comments at the end.
They point to the original DocBook files, with will be
removed after the manual fixes. So, they'll be pointing
to nowere. So, remove those comments.

They'll be forever stored at the Kernel tree. So, if
someone wants the references, it is just a matter of
looking at the backlog.

Log driver status information
Synopsis
========
.. cpp:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request )
Description
===========
As the video/audio devices become more complicated it becomes harder to
debug problems. When this ioctl is called the driver will output the
current device status to the kernel log. This is particular useful when
dealing with problems like no sound, no video and incorrectly tuned
channels. Also many modern devices autodetect video and audio standards
and this ioctl will report what the device thinks what the standard is.
Mismatches may give an indication where the problem is.
This ioctl is optional and not all drivers support it. It was introduced
in Linux 2.6.15.
Return Value
============
On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
