[PATCH v6 1/4] media: dt-bindings: mediatek: Add AIE face detection support for MT8188

Add YAML device tree bindings for the MediaTek AI Engine (AIE) hardware
accelerator found in MT8188 SoCs. The AIE provides hardware-accelerated
face detection, facial landmark detection, and face attribute analysis
capabilities.

Add a MAINTAINERS entry covering the binding, the UAPI header and the
driver directory.

Changes in v6:
- Add ipe-smi-larb12 clock to the binding (was missing in v5 binding
  but present in v5 dtsi).
- Remove iommus from required properties (made optional for platforms
  that can operate without IOMMU).
- Add mediatek,larb as an optional property.
- Improve description text.

Changes in v5:
- Modify the description to make it more concise.
- Delete the description of reg.
- Modify the description of iommus and delete the maxItems of iommus.
- Delete all mediatek,larb.
- Modify the name of clock, change _ to -.

Changes in v4:
- Remove address-cells and size-cells.
- Remove larb12 related content.
- Update id content.

Changes in v3: None

Changes in v2:
- Fix coding style.
