ISTR it caused issues on RZ/Ax.

Oh right, and those got fixed by commit 37385c0772a4fc6b
("clocksource/drivers/renesas-ostm: Avoid reprobe after successful
early probe") in v6.10. So I think it is safe to drop the #ifdef
check instead of extending it.

FTR, with the platform probe enabled, and 37385c0772a4fc6b reverted:

/soc/timer@e803b000: used for clock events
genirq: Flags mismatch irq 16. 00215201 (timer@e803c000) vs.
00215201 (timer@e803c000)
Failed to request irq 16 for /soc/timer@e803c000
renesas_ostm e803c000.timer: probe with driver renesas_ostm failed
with error -16

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
