Unlike what is specified in the Allwinner datasheets, the NAND clock rate
is not equal to 2/T but 1/T. Fix the clock rate selection accordingly.

When some HW works in a way that is *NOT* the one specified in the
datasheet, I think you should rather add *more* comments about this
aspect, rather than removing existing comments.
Fair enough (but you know how much I like documenting my code ;)). I'll
add a comment explaining why it differs from the datasheet
description :P.
