Power: gpio-poweroff: Fix documentation and gpio_is_valid
Improve the documentation to clarify level vs edge triggered power off. Improve the comments for level vs edge triggered power off. Make use of gpio_is_valid().

-GPIO line that should be set high/low to power off a device
+Driver a GPIO line that can be used to turn the power off.
+
+The driver supports both level triggered and edge triggered power off.
+At driver load time, the driver will request the given gpio line and
+install a pm_power_off handler. If the optional properties 'input' is
+not found, the GPIO line will be driven in the inactive
+state. Otherwise its configured as an input.
+
+When the pm_power_off is called, the gpio is configured as an output,
+and drive active, so triggering a level triggered power off
+condition. This will also cause an inactive->active edge condition, so
+triggering positive edge triggered power off. After a delay of 100ms,
+the GPIO is set to inactive, thus causing an active->inactive edge,
+triggering negative edge triggered power off. After another 100ms
+delay the GPIO is driver active again. If the power is still on and
+the CPU still running after a 3000ms delay, a WARN_ON(1) is emitted.
