MediaTek's mmsys doesn't merely control clocks, it also provides
display pipeline routing control and other misc control registers, so
it's appropriate to categorize it as a system controller over a clock
controller.
As for vdosys and vppsys, they are likely variants or aliases of mmsys
introduced in their newer SoCs.
That description was updated in commit 1a680aa888d6 ("dt-bindings:
mediatek: Update mmsys binding to reflect it is a system controller"),
so I just assumed it's correct without thinking much...
