Hello Krzysztof,

For this mt8195 mmsys binding separation, we still need to modify
driver for this. The reason I send this patch is to confirm we can do
this binding modification and I also think we can not pick this patch
here.

We will push another series and it contains modification of binding and
drivers. (The series will push by Jason-JH Lin)

Maybe I should use "RFC" for this series, and I think it's more
correct.

BRs,
Bo-Chen
