This huge series adds more cleanups on top, reducing size and adding more
commonization for clock drivers probe/remove, which also includes a new
common probe mechanism for multimedia clock drivers that are usually
probed by mtk-mmsys instead of a dt clock node: thanks to this, it was
finally possible to convert almost all clock drivers to the common probe
mechanism, which *finally again* makes us able to build all these drivers
as modules!

Since this looked like being *the* way forward, I went on converting some
more drivers away from OF_CLK_DECLARE_DRIVER to full platform_driver(s),
allowing for more (actually, almost all!) drivers to be built as modules.

While at it, I also added some more consistency in macros usage by
removing all of the duplicated full macro declaration for MediaTek gate
clocks and replacing all of those with using the GATE_MTK macro instead,
producing a nice reduction in amount of lines per file but, more
importantly, improving readability and eventual future batch changes.

This amount of commonization will also, in my opinion, greatly improve
the review process for new clock drivers, as they will be mostly just a
list of clocks and won't contain much new code, as it's all going to be
handled in the common places, which also reduces chances to see new clock
driver related bugs emerging on one SoC or the other.

Since I don't own devices with all of the supported MediaTek SoCs, I
could not test some of the conversions on real hardware... but I am
confident that this will work as the drivers are *very* similar on a
per-generation basis.

This series was build-tested for all (both module and built-in build)
and was manually tested on MT6795, MT8173, MT8192, MT8195.

Applied the whole series to clk-next.
