The drm/msm driver had adopted using Python3 script to generate register
header files instead of shipping pre-generated header files. Document
the minimal Python version supported by the script. Per request by Jon
Hunter, the script is required to be compatible with Python 3.5.
Python is documented as an optional dependency, as it is required only
in a limited set of kernel configurations (following the example of
other optional dependencies).

Thanks! I made a request to update some of our legacy builders and so
hopefully they might be upgraded to a newer version. Anyway ...
