I got a compiler error. Enabling CONFIG_COMMON_CLK indeed fixes it.

Without it:
  CLIPPY     drivers/pwm/pwm_th1520.o
error[E0432]: unresolved import `kernel::clk::Clk`
  --> drivers/pwm/pwm_th1520.rs:26:5
   |
26 |     clk::Clk,
   |     ^^^^^^^^ no `Clk` in `clk`

error: aborting due to 1 previous error

For more information about this error, try `rustc --explain E0432`.
make[4]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:354: drivers/pwm/pwm_th1520.o]
Error 1
make[3]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:556: drivers/pwm] Error 2
make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:556: drivers] Error 2
make[1]: *** [/home/markustieger/build/synology/linux-
upstream/Makefile:2010: .] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:248: __sub-make] Error 2

A simple fix would be to add "depends on COMMON_CLK" in
drivers/pwm/Kconfig for PWM_TH1520.
