[PATCH 2/4] mmc: meson-gx: enable the bus pipeline clock on T7

On the T7 SoC, the bus path between the SD/eMMC controllers and the
NIC_MATRIX fabric goes through a pipeline stage inserted by the hardware
design to help timing closure. The stage has its own gate clock and,
when that clock is disabled, a controller that starts a DMA transfer can
never complete it, hanging the storage devices and, from there, the
whole system.

Add a dedicated match data for the amlogic,t7-mmc compatible that makes
the driver claim and enable the "pipeline" clock for as long as the
device is bound.

The clock is deliberately not optional: the hardware cannot do DMA
without it, and failing the probe with a clear error is preferable to
booting and hitting an undiagnosable DMA hang later.
