media: docs-rst: media: Document broken frame handling in stream stop for CSI-2
Some CSI-2 transmitters will finish an ongoing frame whereas others will
not. Document that receiver drivers should not assume a particular
behaviour but to work in both cases.

+Stopping the transmitter
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+A transmitter stops sending the stream of images as a result of
+calling the ``.s_stream()`` callback. Some transmitters may stop the
+stream at a frame boundary whereas others stop immediately,
+effectively leaving the current frame unfinished. The receiver driver
+should not make assumptions either way, but function properly in both
+cases.
