It does seem a bit unusual. However, in our hardware design, EMMC and 
SFC modules are integrated, and they share common resources such as the 
clock and I/O pins .They are mutually exclusive.

Here, I'll modify the register description. Do you think it's feasible

description: EMMC clock divider control

Yes. The APB clock serves as the source clock, but each device receives 
it through an individual clock gating circuit.

I will modify the description of this clock

description: apb gate
