Document the fact that the trigger signal is now optional, and describe
the behavior when this is used.

While at it, fix a typo, and paraphrase a sentence to be less platform
specific.

 Binding for the LTC2952 PowerPath controller
 
 This chip is used to externally trigger a system shut down. Once the trigger has
-been sent, the chips' watchdog has to be reset to gracefully shut down.
-If the Linux systems decides to shut down it powers off the platform via the
-kill signal.

+A full powerdown can be triggered via the kill signal.
