FCLK, HCLK, and PCLK
FCLK is used by ARM920T.
HCLK is used for AHB bus, which is used by the ARM920T, the memory controller, the interrupt controller, the
LCD controller, the DMA and USB host block.
PCLK is used for APB bus, which is used by the peripherals such as WDT, IIS, I2C, PWM timer, MMC interface,
ADC, UART, GPIO, RTC and SPI.
The S3C2440A supports selection of Dividing Ratio between FCLK, HLCK and PCLK. This ratio is determined by
HDIVN and PDIVN of CLKDIVN control register.

After setting PMS value, it is required to set CLKDIVN register. The value set for CLKDIVN will be valid after PLL
lock time. The value is also available for reset and changing Power Management Mode.
The setting value can also be valid after 1.5 HCLK. Only, 1HCLK can validate the value of CLKDIVN register
changed from Default (1:1:1) to other Divide Ratio (1:1:2, 1:2:2, 1:2:4).
