I'm not sure if I get your question. Point is, that the MMSYS implementation for
mt8173 is broken, as it assumes that we can probe two drivers with the
mediatek,mt8173-mmsys compatible. Somehow it used to work, but from what I
understand it was a bug. So older devicetrees use just on mt8173-mmsys
compatible in ther DTB.

I would like to keep backwards compatibility for the device tree, that's why I
was searching for a solution where we can probe two drivers and came up with
this mfd solution.

So no new functionality, the clk driver provides the clock the drm components need.
