Added to 2.4.1:

client_secret
                REQUIRED. The client secret. The client MAY omit the parameter if the client secret
                is an empty string.

Added to 3.2.1:

            A public client that was not issued a client password MAY use the
            'client_id' request parameter to identify itself when sending
            requests to the token endpoint.
