yes, and this is explaining the code which I consider not necessary,
it's more obvious to read the code..

I thought I've explained the goal/motivation already with above
commit message, maybe I can improve it, so how about:
In order to prepare adding clock driver for new K3 SoC, extract generic
code to a separate common ccu header file, so they are not defined
in K1 SoC-specific file, and then can be shared by all drivers.

yes, I could do this in a separate patch

I've explained here:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251231020951-GYA2019108@gentoo.org
It's necessary to incorporate the SoC identifier which will help
to differentiate K1 and K3 reset driver, otherwise there will be
driver name collision, lead to reset driver probe failure while
adding K3 SoC ..

If you still have concerns, and we can't reach certain agreement,
then I could drop this macro in next version, leave this optimization
to future patches, I don't want main clock driver delayed by it.
I personally tend to keep the macro, but probably the naming need some
improvement..

want to make it slightly generic/short but still keep it local for K1 driver,
and also avoid potential collision with other drivers in kernel code..
or do you have any sugestion for better naming?
