[PATCH] powerpc/powernv: document cxl dependency on special case in pnv_eeh_reset()

pnv_eeh_reset() has special handling for PEs whose primary bus is the root
bus or the bus immediately underneath the root port.
The cxl bi-modal card support added in b0b5e5918ad1 ("cxl: Add
cxl_check_and_switch_mode() API to switch bi-modal cards") relies on this
behaviour when hot-resetting the CAPI adapter following a mode switch.
Document this in pnv_eeh_reset() so we don't accidentally break it.

Gavin requested that I add this comment a few weeks ago but I didn't get
around to including it in b0b5e5918ad1. Sorry Gavin!
