Chaotian,

You can follow examples of scpsys [1]:

- clock, clock-names: clocks according to the common clock binding.
                      These are clocks which hardware needs to be
                      enabled before enabling certain power domains.
	Required clocks for MT2701: "mm", "mfg", "ethif"
	Required clocks for MT6797: "mm", "mfg", "vdec"
	Required clocks for MT8173: "mm", "mfg", "venc", "venc_lt"
