pwm: tiecap: Document behaviour of hardware disable

According to David Lechner[1] disabling a tiecap PWM makes the PWM pin
an input. The reported problem is fixed in commit deaeeda2051f
("backlight: pwm_bl: Don't rely on a disabled PWM emiting inactive
state"). Document the behaviour in the driver for future reference.
