Hi Joe,

Thanks for reviewing.

There have been some discussions in patch[1] as to why the subsystem
clocks are now separated by different configs.
And we do need these clocks to be optional on some MediatTek SoC
platform.

I thought it it now a rationale number of subsystem clock provider
drivers. In this series, we have reduced from 23 to 12.
