 Do you have such hardware?

No

 Don't add support for cases you can't test.

It's just a side effect of that approach.

 For what we know - all JZ475x use a 24 MHz crystal and all JZ4760(B)
 use a 12 MHz crystal, until proven otherwise.

Ouf course it just confirms the rule but I found one exception: JZ4750 & 12MHz Link: https://github.com/carlos-wong/uboot_jz4755/blob/master/include/configs/lib4750.h

Then when this board is upstreamed it will declare a 12 MHz oscillator in its DT, and the ingenic init code won't have to enable the /2 divider for that particular board.

Regarding your proposal:
In my opinion enabling the divisor unconditionally is a bad practice,
as it's already enabled (or not) by the bootloader, with respect to the hardware capabilities.I think it's better to keep the driver as it is than
adding such things.

Well, I disagree. Linux should not depend on whatever the bootloader configures.
