1. clock drivers of MERGE
   The MERGE controller may have 2 clock inputs.
   The second clock of MERGE is async clock which is controlling
   the async buffer between MERGE and other display function blocks.

2. MERGE fifo settings enable
   The setting of merge fifo is mainly provided for the display
   latency buffer. To ensure that the back-end panel display data
   will not be underrun, a little more data is needed in the fifo.
   According to the merge fifo settings, when the water level is
   detected to be insufficient, it will trigger RDMA sending
   ultra and preulra command to SMI to speed up the data rate.

       An exception is that the mt8183 mutex is always free running with no clocks property.
