And without this patchset the complete system is running with unknown
clock and, even worse, we make assumptions about what clock bootloader
uses, hardcoded it in dts and hope it is the correct value.

Actually, I don't know about this and I didn't wrote the original
clock calculation code. I just ported it from downstream OpenWrt
kernel. Here's a piece of code from Mediatek's SDK kernel:

case 0:
        reg = (*(volatile u32 *)(RALINK_SYSCTL_BASE + 0x44));
        cpu_fdiv = ((reg >> 8) & 0x1F);
        cpu_ffrac = (reg & 0x1F);
mips_cpu_feq = (500 * cpu_ffrac / cpu_fdiv) * 1000 * 1000;
break;
case 1: //CPU PLL
        reg = (*(volatile u32 *)(RALINK_MEMCTRL_BASE + 0x648));
        fbdiv = ((reg >> 4) & 0x7F) + 1;
        reg = (*(volatile u32 *)(RALINK_SYSCTL_BASE + 0x10));
        reg = (reg >> 6) & 0x7;
        if(reg >= 6) { //25Mhz Xtal
            mips_cpu_feq = 25 * fbdiv * 1000 * 1000;
        } else if(reg >=3) { //40Mhz Xtal
            mips_cpu_feq = 20 * fbdiv * 1000 * 1000;
        } else { // 20Mhz Xtal
            /* TODO */
        }
        break;

uart runs of a fixed 50MHz clock according to another piece of code
from MTK SDK:
(a pastebin version here for better readability. This specific
question has nothing to do with patch reviewing and doesn't need to be
preserved in mail forever.)
https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/fYmtDFW9nh/

I could ask the same question:
What is the point of upstreaming an incomplete MT7621 support in the
first place? Current MT7621 support in upstream kernel works only for
mt7621a not mt7621s and it runs of unknown clocks. These kind of code
should stay in downstream projects like OpenWrt forever isn't it?
