From the discussion we had here and the last comments from Stephen I thin what
we should do is:
- create a platform driver for the mmsys clock part, in the drivers/clk/mediatek/...
- the DRM driver creates a platform device which will probe the clock driver.

This way you won't need to change any compatible.

You will have to re-read the discussions in the different versions of this series.
My first approach was to usa a mfd driver for mmsys, which was rejected.
The last approach was to create a DTS sub node, also rejected :)
