Actually, we were looking into an android kernel patch "ANDROID: GKI:
clk: Add support for voltage voting" [1]

In this patch, there adds a new member struct clk_vdd_class	*vdd_class;
in struct clk_init_data and struct clk_core

And then in clk_register(...)
core->vdd_class = hw->init->vdd_class;

In many clock APIs, it will check the core->vdd_class to select the
correct control flow.
So, if we don't assign an initial value to clk_init_data of mtk_mux
clock type, something might go wrong. And assigning an initial value
might be the easiest and good way to avoid such problem if any new clock
support added in the future.
