Thanks for your suggestion, I have used set_c0_config7(BIT(4)) instead
of the (1 << x) construct in v2.

According to Ingenic's explanation, in the XBurst architecture this bit is
used to control a low-power mode, which is intended to allow the CPU
to further reduce power consumption, but due to some bugs, it is easy
to cause errors in the calculation of bogomips and loops_per_jiffy, So
Ingenic's suggestion is to set this bit to turn it off.
