Please omit these patches entirely, we don't need them.

The new agreement [1] is to add SoC-specific compatible strings and also
declare the nodes as compatibles with the already supported SoC,
whenever appropriate.

So, as per the statement above, the devicetree for Armada 375 and
Armada 38x would have these timer nodes, respectively:

  timer {
      compatible = "marvell,armada-375-timer", "marvell,armada-370-timer"
  }

  timer {
      compatible = "marvell,armada-380-timer", "marvell,armada-xp-timer"
  }

(Because the Armada 375 timer uses the provided parent clock, whereas the
Armada 380 timer uses the fixed 25 MHz clock).

Therefore, we don't need any changes in the clocksource driver for now.
