ARM: topology: Make it clear that all CPUs need to be described
The ARMv8 code will reject incomplete topologies that omit some CPUs (and it's not clear that it's ever sensible to do so). Update the binding document to make this clear. Since we're reformatting the text also fix incorrect grammar in the final "Any other configuration..." section by removing "consider".
