Why everything is syscon?

+ The clock architecture in MediaTek SoCs is structured like below:
+ PLLs -->
+ dividers -->
+ muxes
+ -->
+ clock gate
+
+ The apmixedsys, apmixedsys_gp2, vlpckgen, armpll, ccipll, mfgpll and ptppll
+ provide most of the PLLs which are generated from the SoC's 26MHZ crystal oscillator.
+ The topckgen, topckgen_gp2 and vlpckgen provide dividers and muxes which
+ provide the clock source to other IP blocks.

Why everything is syscon?

Like all other MediaTek SoCs - each sub-IP has its own clock controller, and all
of those sub-IPs have part of the system controller.

It's just a MediaTek SoC being a... MediaTek SoC.

Do not copy property name to description, but say something useful - for
what? And why this cannot be or is not a proper interconnect?


Laura, please check the commit description of my power domains HWV patches
here: 20250623120154.109429-8-angelogioacchino.delregno@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

...and follow what krzk just said which... well, my bad for not complaining
about this during internal reviewing.

Thank you, Krzysztof - sharp as always!
