platform/x86: x86-android-tablets: Add a comment about x86_android_tablet_get_gpiod()

Add a comment explaining why the special x86_android_tablet_get_gpiod()
helper is necessary for some of the GPIOs used in the x86-android-tablets;
and that for normal GPIO lookups this example should not be followed.

+ * 1. Getting an IRQ from a GPIO for i2c_board_info.irq which is passed to

+ * 2. Calling desc_to_gpio() to get an old style GPIO number for gpio_keys

+ * Since the consuming device has not been instatiated yet a dynamic lookup
