The value of these symbol is just the GCE-HW-defined value. I think it's
not appropriate to expose HW-defined value to client. For another SoC
GCE HW, these definition may change.

One way to solve this problem is to translate symbol to value
internally. But these events looks like interrupt and the value may vary
by each SoC, to prevent driver modified frequently, it's better to place
the value definition in device tree. It may looks like:

mmsys: clock-controller@14000000 {
	compatible = "mediatek,mt8173-mmsys";
	mediatek,gce = <&gce>;
	gce-events = <53 54>;
	gce-event-names = "MUTEX0_EOF","MUTEX1_EOF";
}

For cmdq driver, you just need modify interface from

int cmdq_rec_wfe(struct cmdq_rec *rec, enum cmdq_event event)
int cmdq_rec_clear_event(struct cmdq_rec *rec, enum cmdq_event event)

to

int cmdq_rec_wfe(struct cmdq_rec *rec, u32 event)
int cmdq_rec_clear_event(struct cmdq_rec *rec, u32 event)
