#1. SCU0_CLK_UART_DIV13 is redundant, it does not impact ABI break
#2. Change SOC0_CLK_HPLL_DIV_AHB to SOC0_CLK_AHBMUX
Older implement where `mpll_div_ahb` and `hpll_div_ahb` were **hardcoded dividers** for AHB.
In **the new approach (v8)**, I refactored the clock tree to clock tree.
It should be ABI-safe change

Or you want to keep original SOC0_CLK_HPLL_DIV_AHB define and then add SOC0_CLK_AHBMUX.
To be 1st patch, then 2n patch remove redundant SOC0_CLK_HPLL_DIV_AHB?
