In provided link [0] the  ralink_clk_init function is reading SYSC_REG_CPLL_CLKCFG0 R/W register.
This register is used to determine clock source,  clock freq and CPU or bus clocks.
SYSC_REG_CPLL_CLKCFG1 register is a clock gate controller. It is used to enable or disable clocks.
Jist wild assumption. All peripheral devices are suing bus clock.

IMO - this information is enough to create full blown drivers/clk/mediatek/clk-mt7621.c
