[v2] Documentation: dt-bindings: Explicitly mark Samsung Exynos SoC bindings as unstable

From: Marek Szyprowski <m.szyprowski@samsung.com>

Samsung Exynos SoCs and boards related bindings evolved since the initial
introduction, but initially the bindings were minimal and a bit incomplete
(they never described all the hardware modules available in the SoCs).
Since then some significant (not fully compatible) changes have been
already committed a few times (like gpio replaced by pinctrl, display ddc,
mfc reserved memory, some core clocks added to various hardware modules,
added more required nodes).

On the other side there are no boards which have device tree embedded in
the bootloader. Device tree blob is always compiled from the kernel tree
and updated together with the kernel image.

Thus to avoid further adding a bunch of workarounds for old/missing
bindings, make development of new platforms easier and allow to make
cleanup of the existing code and device tree files, lets mark some
Samsung Exynos SoC platform bindings as unstable. This means that
bindings can may change at any time and users should use the dtb file
compiled from the same kernel source tree as the kernel image.
