Commit 7915d7d5407c ("clk: amlogic: gxbb: drop non existing 32k clock
parent") dropped a non-existing clock parent from the gxbb_32k_clk_sel
mux but didn't adjust the hard-coded num_parents field. Fix the actual
number of parents of that mux by using ARRAY_SIZE instead (avoiding
similar problems in future).
