Since there are no other child nodes for this sysc, should merge clock
properties
with this node in the following way a valid approach:

 sysc: sysc@0 {
     compatible = "mediatek,mt7621-sysc", "syscon";
     reg = <0x0 0x100>;
     #clock-cells = <1>;
     ralink,memctl = <&memc>;
     clock-output-names = "xtal", "cpu", "bus",
                                        "50m", "125m", "150m",
                                        "250m", "270m";
};

Consumer clock:

node: node@0 {
  ...
  clocks = <&sysc MT7621_CLK_WHATEVER>;
 ...
};

If that is the case... and since 'sysc' is used as system control
registers for all the rest of the world, where should be the yaml file
with bindings placed?

Thanks in advance again for your help.
