Make it clear in the documentation that V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_READ_ONLY doesn't
conflict with V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_WRITE_ONLY. Also make it clear that
if both are combined then the control has read and write permissions.

Hi,
v4l2-compliance expects both flags for read and write permissions, so I
would like to make it clear in the docs.
Please let me know if this is not the case.
Thanks
Helen
