media: docs: saa7134.rst: update the documentation
There are several things here that are outdated, because this
document was written a long time ago.
Update them to reflect the current status of the driver and
the media subsystem.

To build and install, you should run::
34
48
35
-
Type "make" to build the driver now. "make install" installs the
36
-
driver. "modprobe saa7134" should load it. Depending on the card you
37
-
might have to pass card=<nr> as insmod option, check CARDLIST for
38
-
valid choices.
49
+
make && make modules_install && make install
50
+
51
+
Once the new Kernel is booted, saa7134 driver should be loaded automatically.
52
+
53
+
Depending on the card you might have to pass ``card=<nr>`` as insmod option.
54
+
If so, please check :doc:`saa7134-cardlist` for valid choices.
55
+
56
+
Once you have your card type number, you can pass a modules configuration
57
+
via a file (usually, it is either ``/etc/modules.conf`` or some file at
58
+
``/etc/modules-load.d/``, but the actual place depends on your
59
+
distribution), with this content::
60
+
61
+
options saa7134 card=13 # Assuming that your card type is #13
