Ok, I see. It still looks like the two tables can simply be
merged by adding the ralink,rt2880-reset entry to mtmips_of_match[],
which will allow it to be used for mtmips_clk_driver (which doesn't
use the data) as well as for mtmips_clk_init() (which doesn't
need get called for ralink,rt2880-reset).
