+  MediaTek MIPS and Ralink SoCs provides a system controller to allow
+  to access to system control registers. These registers include clock
+  and reset related ones so this node is both clock and reset provider
+  for the rest of the world.
+
+  These SoCs have an XTAL from where the cpu clock is
+  provided as well as derived clocks for the bus and the peripherals.

Since you decided to send it before we finish discussion:
NAK - this is already used as mediatek

Sorry, there was too much stuff commented so I preferred to clean up
all of them while maintaining the compatibles with the ralink prefix
instead since that was where the current discussion was at that point.


+          - ralink,mt7620a-sysc

As I have said, this one exists:

arch/mips/ralink/mt7620.c:      rt_sysc_membase =
plat_of_remap_node("ralink,mt7620a-sysc");


+          - ralink,mt7628-sysc

Same here.

+          - ralink,mt7688-sysc

I expect you to check the others.

I can change others to mediatek but that would be a bit weird, don't you think?

I've seen some parts of the MTMIPS platform use mediatek compatible strings
thanks to Krzysztof pointing them out. I don't like having some parts of the
MTMIPS platform (pci, mmc, usbphy, etc.) with mediatek compatible string
while others are ralink.

That's unfortunate, but again, compatibles are just unique identifiers.
They are only wrong if they aren't unique...

Understood. Sergio, please keep the new strings here ralink.


Like Krzysztof said [0], Ralink is now Mediatek, thus there is no conflict
and no issues with different vendor used. So I'd rather keep new things
Ralink and gradually change these mediatek strings to ralink.

So break the ABI multiple times slowly. Again, either you live with
*all* the existing compatible strings or you declare it is fine to break
the ABI on these platforms and switch everything at once. Carrying both
strings (in bindings or drivers) and breaking the ABI is lose-lose.

If removing the mediatek strings from the drivers and bindings is better than keeping both strings on the drivers except the bindings, which would keep the ABI intact, I'll do the prior and do it all at once.
