The “mcu_pm_bclk_ck_cg” clock is used by co-processors and should not be

Instead, add the "aes_top0_bclk_ck_cg" missing clock to prevent
re-shuffling index and then preserve the ABI.
How does this preserve the ABI exactly? Please describe exactly what you
mean by that.
I mean that reduce the impact of the change compared to the v1 where
I've changed the index of the following defines to be clean.
Also, what about any other users of these definitions, outside of Linux?
The clock driver and bindings are only a couple of kernel versions old,
I'm pretty sure no one is using it. Also, if someone use
CLK_IFR_MCU_PM_BK define, I'm wondering how his CPU is working since
Mediatek told me that shouldn't be used, and after some try, I confirm.
I've a question: If something is wrong in the binding, you don't fix it
to avoid ABI change ?
TBH, I just try to clean the binding. I can fix the driver index issue
(patch 2/2) without fixing the binding if you prefer. But IMHO, keep an
unusable define isn't great...
