tc-testing: Clarify the use of tdc's -d option
The -d command line argument to tdc requires the name of a physical device on the system where the tests will be run. If -d has not been used, tdc will skip tests that require a physical device. This patch is intended to better document what the -d option does and how it is used. Signed-off-by: Lucas Bates <lucasb@mojatatu.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
