[PATCH 1/5] pinctrl: update the documentation for some pinconfig params

The BIAS_DISABLE and BIAS_HIGH_IMPEDANCE generic pinconfig options were
missing information about their argument - which should be ignored.
Also the BIAS_PULL_* options may have the pull strength as argument
when they are activated, while simpler hardware can use any
non-0 value for it.
Update the kerneldoc to reflect this.
