hsdma/eth/pio clocks are still missing in mediatek doc and
I just made them up in the driver. Correct clock frequency for
them aren't really important for them to work though.
And another part I didn't finish is checking clock support for
every drivers mt7621 used. Many drivers don't explicitly
enable the clock and may be problematic when kernel
gates unused clocks.
