Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: dt-bindings: Fix incorrect statement

It's found when reading the Doc.

In a SMP system, the hierarchy of CPUs now can be defined through
four not three entities (socket/cluster/core/thread), so correct
the statement to avoid possible confusion.

Since we are already there, also drop an extra space and tweak
the title alignment. No real context change at all.

Please improve the subject so we have some clue as to what the change is
and what it applies to.

Since already here, converting to schema would be preferred over trivial
fixes.

Ok, I will improve the subject to make it more readable.

With pleasure to do this. I will send a v2 including this part of work.
