Ok, I understood UAPI documentation should go in
Documentation/userspace-api/motion.rst. Will fix that.

What I am unsure of is the rest of the documentation (which arguably still
needs to be written). I initially selected this place because of
Documentation/subsystem-apis.rst. LMC being a new "subsystem", made me think it
was the right thing to follow the structure of the contents there.
What I mean to put there is documentation of the driver API for motion
control drivers. I understand that while it doesn't really exist yet, I should
leave it out of this patch set, but when I am going to write it, should it
still go there, or is there now a better place?

Best regards,
