This is a terrible bug for more than one instances. I must overwrite it.

Yes, all Soc with 'has_oen' must have 'has_enhance_clk_div' too.
It is distinct to use two flags here, what do you think of it?

There are two div in AXG, one is the coarse old-div and the other is 
enhance-div. From SoCs designer's opinion, the ehance-div aims to take 
place of the old-div.
