Re: [PATCH 1/7] docs: driver-api: parport-lowlevel: clarify purpose of PARPORT_MODE_PCSPP

That link is to a question that the submitter asked, and nobody
responded to it. It seems that this patch stems from an incomplete
reading of the kernel documentation. Those docs say:

So, the PARPORT_MODE_PCSPP flag denotes the availability of the SPP port
functions, not any fields in a struct.
