Since these nodes will be supplying clocks to the rest of the system,
I think the "name" part of each of these should all be
"clock-controller", like topckgen and apmixedsys:

  imgsys: clock-controller at 15000000 {

These subsystems (and topckgen also) also contains other functions such
as reset controller, which may be implemented in clk/mediatek/ in the
future. It is suitable to use "clock-controller" as their name?

Hmm,

I don't know the "right way" to do this either.
Pardon me if you've already had these discussions.
I only recently started looking at these clock nodes in detail :-).

I think what we really have in register space is a "syscon", as
described in [0]:
[0] Documentation/devicetree/bindings/mfd/syscon.txt

So, we can define this block of registers as a syscon:

mmsys_syscon: syscon at 14000000 {
       compatible = "mediatek,mt8173-mmsys", "syscon";
       reg = <0 0x14000000 0 0x1000>;
};


Then for the clock controller functionality, we create a node with a
"clock-controller" name and a "-clock" compatible, like this:

mmsys_clock: clock-controller {
       compatible = "mediatek,mt8173-mmsys-clock";
       #clock-cells = <1>;
       mediatek,syscon = <&mmsys_syscon>;
};

You could then do:
CLK_OF_DECLARE(mtk_mmsys, "mediatek,mt8173-mmsys-clock", mtk_mmsys_init);


If you want to reuse the same register range for some other
functionality, we could then use a different node, with a different
compatible:

mmsys: reset-controller {
       compatible = "mediatek,mt8173-mmsys-reset";
       mediatek,syscon = <&mmsys_syscon>;
};

What do you think of this approach?

Thanks!
