Agreed. 3/6, 4/6, 5/6 introduce mtk_simple_clk_controller, but we just got
ChenYu's patch merged to clk-next to switch to clk_hw_onecell_data, and
hoplefully we can test them in v5.18 or v5.19.
So I think we should wait for ChenYu's cleanup.

- struct clk_hw_onecell_data *clk_data;
+ struct mtk_simple_clk_controller *clk_ctrl;

thanks,
Miles
