firmware: imx: scu-pd: Update comments for single global power domain
Since the introduction of the PM domain support for the scu-pd, the genpd framework has been continuously improved. More preciously, using a single global power domain can quite easily be deployed for imx platforms. To avoid confusions, let's therefore make an update to the comments about the missing pieces.
