ok, i will add them later.

if not set clk_div_mask here, the value 0x00 of divider means nand clock 
off, even read/write nand register is forbidden.

it seems to like a gate. 1: nand is selected; 0: emmc is selected.
Is it suitable for making it as a mux clock?

em , it is the same as bit 24 in S905 datasheet, only moves to bit 28.
it means keeping internal clock on whether nand wroks or not.
it doesn't have to be 1; i have tried 0 successfully on AXG platform.
