You need SoC/device specific compatibles. Preferably only SoC specific,
without generic fallback, unless you can guarantee (while representing
MediaTek), that generic fallback will cover all of their SoCs?

So the clocks are indices from some specific, yet unnamed
clock-controller? This feels hacky. You should rather take here clock
phandles (1) or integrate it into specific clock controller (2). The
reason is that either your device does something on top of existing
clocks (option 1, thus it takes clock as inputs) or it modifies existing
clocks (option 2, thus it is integral part of clock-controller).
FHCTL is a MCU that handles (some, or all, depending on what's supported on the
SoC and what's needed by the board) PLL frequency setting, doing it in steps and
avoiding overshooting and other issues.
We had a pretty big conversation about this a while ago and the indices instead
of phandles is actually my fault, that happened because I initially proposed your
option 2 but then for a number of reasons we went with this kind of solution.
I know it's going to be a long read, but the entire conversation is on the list [1]
