On MT7621, CPU clock can be chosen from 3 sources: crystal clock,
a fixed 500MHz clock or a clock created by the memory controller.
sysctl contains a bootstrap register to determine crystal clock, a
clock mux for choosing between the 3 sources for CPU clock, and
a clock gate register for various peripherals. The ralink,memctl
phandle here is to read the cpu clock frequency from the memory
controller.
The original implementation hides this hardware detail to avoid
splitting the driver into three just for the CPU clock.
Is this approach okay and we can put it under sysctl node,
or this driver needs to be further splitted?
