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

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")
