[PATCH net] net: sparx5: start the domain 0 TOD counter on non-PTP lan969x variants

Currently the base non-PTP capable lan969x variants don't forward any
ethernet frames. Testing showed that starting the domain 0 TOD counter
gets them working again.

Fix by moving the TOD counter start code into a helper and calling it in
sparx5_ptp_init(). Non-PTP capable lan969x parts now start the domain 0
counter, and PTP-capable parts start all three, as they used to. A similar
workaround that starts all three and registers the PHC clocks is
implemented in the vendor BSP 6.18 kernel [1].

If anyone with access to documentation more detailed than the
register map knows WHY this clock needs to be running, I'd like to add
that to the commit message.
