The reason is simply consistency with most other SoCs.

So to make such a change possible, I should do it in three steps, right?
Step 1: dt-bindings: copy mt7986-clk.h to mediatek,mt7986-clk.h
Step 2: changes in drivers
Step 3: dt-bindings: remove mt7986-clk.h

Would this change be acceptable if carried out in 3 commits?
And using the same strategy also the other changes suggested in the
series?

Thank you!

Best regards

Daniel
