The driver in drivers/soc/mediatek will be a simple dummy implementation of a "simple-mfd" device (a driver that simply matches with "mediatek,mt8173-mmsys" and instantiates the "clk-mt8173-mm" and the "mediatek-drm" driver (note that mediatek-mdp" is already instantiated via device-tree). It'd be nice had a proper device-tree with a "simple-mfd" for mmsys from the beginning representing how really hardwware is, but I think that, change this now, will break backward compatibility. IMHO I think that considering the clk driver as entry point is fine, but this is something that the clock maintainers should decide. Also note that this is not only a MT8173 problem I am seeing the same problem on all other Mediatek SoCs.
