Right. Since MT8195 machines have been out in the wild for a bit of time now,
I think it's worth following your advice and add `default COMMON_CLK_MT8195`
to the new configuration options.

As for MT8186, currently, there's only one board supported upstream, which
is the "unobtainable" EVB so I would rather not do that for MT8186, unless
you have any strong opinions on that.

Angelo
