[PATCH RFC 4/7] dt-bindings: timer: sifive,clint: Mark spacemit,k3-clint as deprecated

Newsgroups dev.linux.lists.spacemit,org.infradead.lists.linux-riscv,org.kernel.vger.linux-devicetree,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
The SpacemiT K3 SoC actually implements a full ACLINT interface rather
than a legacy CLINT interface. Deprecating this entry prevents improper
usage in device trees while maintaining backward compatibility.

Fixes: 6cdeb30db4d8 ("dt-bindings: timer: add SpacemiT K3 CLINT")
