How does this patches fit together with the one James clock framework patches?
Both use the same compatible "mediatek,mt8135-infracfg" and
"mediatek,mt8135-pericfg".

I had a look on other implementations and they attach the reset
controller to the clk driver, if they share the same hw block.
Might we run into problems if we implement the clocks in the mfd, as
we need the clocks early in boot (e.g. for the timer)?

In mt6589 pericfg apart from the clocks and reset controller provides
registers for AXI bus control and USB wakeup and USB clock selection.
The infracfg block provides top AXI bus fabric control signals and
remap registers for the modem.
Mike, Stephen, what do you think. Can we implement the clk in a mfd
driver? Or do you prefer to implement the whole block in the clk
driver?

Cheers,
Matthias
