That thread maybe has too much information and things evolved since
then. Note that the final solution is not an MFD neither we change the
bindings. I pointed to that thread just because CK (CK please correct
me if I'm wrong) thought that the driver is not a pure clock driver
and he preferred to move to drivers/soc/mediatek (in that thread, he
exposes his opinion on that).  Sorry to introduce more confusion.

You seem to be fine with the approach (just minor changes), so it
looks to me that the only problem is if this should be in drivers/clk
or drivers/soc. Honestly, this is not something I can't decide and
I'll let you (the soc and clk maintainers) decide. I don't really have
a strong opinion here. I don't mind move again to drivers/clk if that
is what we want but let's come to an agreement.

Thanks,
 Enric
