     After check with DE, the smi_common clock also have its APB clock
and the smi clock(they have the same clock source).
    And I prepare to delete "_clk" in all the clock-names.
    So it may be like this:
         smi_common:smi at 14022000 {
                 compatible = “mediate, mt8173-smi”;
                    reg = <0 0x14022000 0 0x1000>;
                  clocks = <&mmsys MM_SMI_COMMON>, 
			   <&mmsys MM_SMI_COMMON>;
                  clocks-names = “apk”,"smi";
        };
     How about this?
