[PATCH] arm/devicetree: don't bind devicetree-only machine_descs via MACH_TYPE_xxx

This patch ensures that a DT only machine_desc (created with DT_MACHINE_START()
doesn't get selected by setup_machine_tags(). It also adds some documentation
to clarify that firmware should use ~0 in r1 if booting with a DT and a valid
machine number is not available.
