[PATCH] osmo-gsm-manuals[master]: OsmoBTS/abis/rsl: add missing info for Osmocom Dyn Channels

[Neels Hofmeyr]

Hello Jenkins Builder, Holger Freyther,

I'd like you to reexamine a change.  Please visit

to look at the new patch set (#3).

OsmoBTS/abis/rsl: add missing info for Osmocom Dyn Channels

The section 'Osmocom Style Dynamic Channels' ended in mid-sentence without
naming any of the hard facts. Complete that.

Add section links.
