USB: cxacru: add Documentation file

The sysfs attributes for exposing cxacru statistics/status information with
possible values is now explained in Documentation/networking/cxacru.txt
including information on the writable adsl_state attribute's commands and a
sample of the kernel log format.

+Firmware is required for this device: http://accessrunner.sourceforge.net/
+
+While it is capable of managing/maintaining the ADSL connection without the
+module loaded, the device will sometimes stop responding after unloading the
+driver and it is necessary to unplug/remove power to the device to fix this.
+
+Detected devices will appear as ATM devices named "cxacru". In /sys/class/atm/
+these are directories named cxacruN where N is the device number. A symlink
+named device points to the USB interface device's directory which contains
+several sysfs attribute files for retrieving device statistics:
+
+* adsl_controller_version
+
+* adsl_headend
+* adsl_headend_environment
+	Information about the remote headend.
+
+* downstream_attenuation (dB)
+* downstream_bits_per_frame
+* downstream_rate (kbps)
+* downstream_snr_margin (dB)
+	Downstream stats.
+
+* upstream_attenuation (dB)
+* upstream_bits_per_frame
+* upstream_rate (kbps)
+* upstream_snr_margin (dB)
+* transmitter_power (dBm/Hz)
+	Upstream stats.
+
+* downstream_crc_errors
+* downstream_fec_errors
+* downstream_hec_errors
+* upstream_crc_errors
+* upstream_fec_errors
+* upstream_hec_errors
+	Error counts.
+
+* line_startable
+	Indicates that ADSL support on the device
+	is/can be enabled, see adsl_start.
+
+* line_status
+	"initialising"
+	"down"
+	"attempting to activate"
+	"training"
+	"channel analysis"
+	"exchange"
+	"waiting"
+	"up"
+
+	Changes between "down" and "attempting to activate"
+	if there is no signal.
+
+* link_status
+	"not connected"
+	"connected"
+	"lost"
+
+* mac_address
+
+* modulation
+	"ANSI T1.413"
+	"ITU-T G.992.1 (G.DMT)"
+	"ITU-T G.992.2 (G.LITE)"
+
+* startup_attempts
+	Count of total attempts to initialise ADSL.
+
+To enable/disable ADSL, the following can be written to the adsl_state file:
+	"start"
+	"stop
+	"restart" (stops, waits 1.5s, then starts)
+	"poll" (used to resume status polling if it was disabled due to failure)
+
+Changes in adsl/line state are reported via kernel log messages:
+	[4942145.150704] ATM dev 0: ADSL state: running
+	[4942243.663766] ATM dev 0: ADSL line: down
