ok.

lets see more code:
drivers/staging/mt7621-mmc/sd.c
/* clock source for host: global */
#if defined(CONFIG_SOC_MT7620)
static u32 hclks[] = {48000000}; /* +/- by chhung */
#elif defined(CONFIG_SOC_MT7621)
static u32 hclks[] = {50000000}; /* +/- by chhung */
#endif

hm.. 50Mhz again. Feels like APB clock.

./drivers/staging/mt7621-dts/mt7621.dtsi
        cpuclock: cpuclock@0 {
                #clock-cells = <0>;
                compatible = "fixed-clock";

                /* FIXME: there should be way to detect this */
                clock-frequency = <880000000>;
        };

Your driver is trying to cover cpuclock

        sysclock: sysclock@0 {
                #clock-cells = <0>;
                compatible = "fixed-clock";

                /* This is normally 1/4 of cpuclock */
                clock-frequency = <220000000>;
        };

and most probably system clock alias "bus clock", most probably AHB.

                i2c: i2c@900 {
                        compatible = "mediatek,mt7621-i2c";
                        clocks = <&sysclock>;

looks like i2c is using AHB clock.

                uartlite: uartlite@c00 {
                        compatible = "ns16550a";

                        clocks = <&sysclock>;
                        clock-frequency = <50000000>;

and uart is suing APB clock

                spi0: spi@b00 {
                        compatible = "ralink,mt7621-spi";
                        clocks = <&sysclock>;

SPI -> APB

        xhci: xhci@1E1C0000 {
                compatible = "mediatek,mt8173-xhci";
                clocks = <&sysclock>;
                clock-names = "sys_ck";
XHCI -> AHB


        ethernet: ethernet@1e100000 {
                compatible = "mediatek,mt7621-eth";
                clocks = <&sysclock>;
                clock-names = "ethif";

Ethernet -> AHB
So, all device are using two groups of clocks. System clock with seems
to depend on CPU clock.
Or 50MHz clock. Which is for some unknow reason always 50MHz.

Here we have already upstream code:
arch/mips/ralink/mt7620.c
        xtal_rate = mt7620_get_xtal_rate();

#define RFMT(label)     label ":%lu.%03luMHz "
#define RINT(x)         ((x) / 1000000)
#define RFRAC(x)        (((x) / 1000) % 1000)

        if (is_mt76x8()) {
                if (xtal_rate == MHZ(40))
                        cpu_rate = MHZ(580);
                else
                        cpu_rate = MHZ(575);
                dram_rate = sys_rate = cpu_rate / 3;
                periph_rate = MHZ(40);
                pcmi2s_rate = MHZ(480);

                ralink_clk_add("10000d00.uartlite", periph_rate);
                ralink_clk_add("10000e00.uartlite", periph_rate);


which is doing same as I requested before. Well, preferred in
drivers/clk/ manner.

I need to admit. I really like the idea of pushing all downstream
OpenWrt code mainline. And respect every one who is doing it.

Other question, do this platfrom SoC really worth it? Vendor seems do
not care about it. This product belong to

I don't think this example is nearly comparable. We have enough
documentation to provide working driver. For mainlining was removed
everything what do not belong there:
- direct reading and writing to system wide clock registers. This should
be done over clk framework.
- switch support. It should be done in dsa framework, not inside of
ethernet driver.
- ethertool support was removed to reduce review overhead and can be add
later if need.
- debugfs support was removed removed to reduce review overhead and can
be add later if need.
- phy or board specific quirks was removed as well. This has nothing
todo with ethernet driver and belong to other frameworks or drivers.

Ok, I provided you some productive technical hints how it should be
done. I don't think mt7620 has better documentation then mt7621 and even
in this case it was possible to make more or less good driver.
