drm: Mention the power state requirement on side-channel operations
The drm_connector detect, drm_dp_aux transfer and mipi_dsi_host operations typically require to access their underlying device to perform what is expected of them. However, there's no guarantee on the fact that the device has been enabled through atomic_enable or similar that will usually power the device. The access to an unpowered device is then an undefined behaviour ranging from the access being ignored to a hard CPU hang. Let's document that expectation to avoid as much as possible those consequences.
