I believe our firmware doesn't need this line. Please remove it.

The point here would be to know if you need to enable a special timer
from the mtk-timer block to get the arch timer working.
In any case, you will need some sort of timer. This dts does not
describe the mtk-timer (may in the mt8173 it does not exist) but
defines the clocks clk26m and clk32k. So if you don't use the
mtk-timer, please remove the clocks as there isn't a block using them.

MT8173 has two timer set: CPUGPT and APBGPT, and use CPUGPT to enable
arch_timer. Previous series only have APBGPT. MT8173 still need enable
CPUGPT to get arch timer working, we put this in loader, and transparent
to kernel. So I will remove clk26m and clk32k in next version.
