There really is only one "canonical" thing, and that is in the libbinder code in the Android userspace repository. And it's not really "documentation" so much as, "a C file that interacts with the ioctls in the binder kernel code" :(
Think of this as just a random character driver with some funny ioctls that will never get really documented as there is only one user of it.
