OK, let's break this patch into two patches. The first is to support
mt8195 only with clock name identification. The second patch is to
identify SoC. In this series, we just need the first patch, so move the
second patch to the series of another SoC with multiple mmsys device.
Maybe another SoC with multiple mmsys device has new property which
could be used to identify SoC, so we have no information about what is
the better implementation of second patch. I do really care the future,
but I have no information about the future. Please public any hidden
information so we could have better decision.
