in most cases that would be even nicer to read because it could be expressed as:
  .mask = GENMASK(5, 4)

so I like your idea in general
though I think it should not block this patch

I tried to use clk_register_mux in the past. it works but it's not as
nice to read as the open-coded variant because it takes 10 parameters.
I find it easier to read 13 separate lines compared to reading a
function call with 10 parameters
