I don't understand why there are two match tables in the same
driver, with almost the same contents. I have not looked very
closely here, but why can't we just drop the mtmips_clk_of_match[]
table (the one without the .data fields) and use the same
table for both? Is this because of the ralink,rt2880-reset entry
that is missing in mtmips_of_match, or is that another bug?

I also see that there is both a platform_driver instance for
late probing and a list of CLK_OF_DECLARE_DRIVER() entries.
Do we need both here?
