ptp: ocp: Document sysfs output format for backward compatibility
Add a comment to ptp_ocp_tty_show() explaining that the sysfs output
intentionally does not include a trailing newline. This is required for
backward compatibility with existing userspace software that reads the
sysfs attribute and uses the value directly as a device path.
A previous attempt to add a newline to align with common kernel
conventions broke userspace applications that were opening device paths
like "/dev/ttyS4\n" instead of "/dev/ttyS4", resulting in ENOENT errors.
This comment prevents future attempts to "fix" this behavior, which would
break existing userspace applications.
