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.
