This register should only be changed by bootloader, not kernel. So
it's read-only in kernel's perspective.

This assumption is incorrect. When this patchset is applied in
OpenWrt, I asked the author why there's still a fixed clock in
mt7621.dtsi, He told me that there's another clock for those unchanged
peripherals and he doesn't have time to write a clock provider for it.
I don't know how many undocumented clocks are there since this piece
of info is missing in datasheet.

And this information isn't enough because the assumption above is incorrect :P
