I'll echo what Viresh said here. CPUfreq drivers should typically be
clock consumers and only require clk.h, not clk-provider.h. More on that
below.

Is cpuclk a mux that is represented in the MT8173 clock driver? It looks
like a clock that belong to the clock driver, but this cpufreq driver is
writing to that register directly.

This is definitely bad. Why not use clk_get() here? __clk_lookup should
not be exposed to clock consumer drivers (and I hope to get rid of it
completely some day).
