Documentation: arm: Link idle-states binding to "enable-method" property

The "enable-method" property for cpu nodes needs to be "psci" for CPU
idle management to be setup correctly.

Add a note to the binding documentation to this effect to make it
obvious.

The nodes describing the idle states (state) can only be defined within the
idle-states node, any other configuration is considered invalid and therefore
must be ignored.
This assumes that the "enable-method" property is set to "psci" in the cpu
node[6] that is responsible for setting up CPU idle management in the OS
implementation.
