Subject: [PATCH v3] Documentation, dt, numa: Add note to empty NUMA node

The empty NUMA nodes, where no memory resides in, are allowed. For
these empty NUMA nodes, the 'len' of 'reg' property is zero. These
empty NUMA node IDs are still valid and parsed. I finds difficulty
to get where it's properly documented.

So lets add note to empty NUMA nodes in the NUMA binding doc.
