[PATCH v6 09/20] soc: mediatek: mtk-cmdq: Add pa_base parsing for hardware without subsys ID support

When GCE executes instructions, it typically locates the corresponding
hardware register using the subsys ID. For hardware that does not
support subsys ID, the subsys ID is set to an invalid value, and the
physical address must be used to generate GCE instructions.

The main advantage of using subsys ID is to reduce the number of
instructions. Without subsys ID, an additional `ASSIGN` instruction
is needed to assign the high bytes of the physical address, which can
impact performance if too many instructions are required. However, if
the hardware does not support subsys ID, using the physical address
is the only option to achieve the same functionality.

This commit adds a pa_base parsing flow to the cmdq_client_reg structure
to handle hardware without subsys ID support.
