dt-bindings: riscv: drop invalid comment about riscv,isa lower-case reasoning

"Ease of parsing" may have been the initial argument for keeping this
string in lower-case, but parsers may have been written that expect
lower-case only.
For example, the one in released kernels currently does not behave
correctly for multi-letter extensions that begin with a capital letter.
Allowing upper-case here brings about no benefit but would break
compatibility between new devicetrees and older kernels.

Drop the comment to avoid confusing people.
