If we still need to keep the "default MACH_INGENIC", then Daniel can
directly apply the v6 version.

If we need to use the silent options, maybe we can enable them
separately according to
MACH_JZ4740/MACH_JZ4770/MACH_JZ4780/MACH_X1000/MACH_X1830.

In fact, I think X1000 and X1830 need to enable this driver in most
cases, because the current test has found that use TCU to provide
clocksource and clockevent will cause data loss/error when transmitting
data through spi or ethernet. And these errors no longer appear after
using OST.

Thanks and best regards!
