You need SoC/device specific compatibles. Preferably only SoC specific,
without generic fallback, unless you can guarantee (while representing
MediaTek), that generic fallback will cover all of their SoCs?

So the clocks are indices from some specific, yet unnamed
clock-controller? This feels hacky. You should rather take here clock
phandles (1) or integrate it into specific clock controller (2). The
reason is that either your device does something on top of existing
clocks (option 1, thus it takes clock as inputs) or it modifies existing
clocks (option 2, thus it is integral part of clock-controller).
