> * Cleans up some duplicated clock(s) registration attempt(s): on
>   some platforms the 26M fixed factor clock is registered early,
>   but then upon platform_driver probe, an attempt to re-register
>   that clock was performed;
> 
> * Removes some early clock registration where possible, moving
>   everything to platform_driver clock probe;
> 
> * Breaks down the big MT8173 clock driver in multiple ones, as it's
>   already done with the others, cleans it up and adds possibility
>   possibility to compile non-boot-critical clock drivers (for 8173)
>   as modules;
> 
> * Extends the common mtk_clk_simple_probe() function to be able to
>   register multiple MediaTek clock types;
> 
> * Removes duplicated [...]_probe functions from multiple MediaTek SoC
>   clock drivers, migrating almost everything to the common functions
>   mtk_clk_simple_probe();
> 
> * Adds a .remove() callback, pointing to the common mtk_clk_simple_remove()
>   function to all clock drivers that were migrated to the common probe;
> 
> * Some more spare cleanups here and there.
> 
> All of this was manually tested on various Chromebooks (with different MTK
> SoCs) and no regression was detected.

I tested this v2 series on mt6779 and mt8192 without any problem.

thanks,
