According to a statement from an Amlogic FAE, there is an error in the
datasheet's CPU clock controller figure. The FAE clarified the
following:

"""
The d5/d7 clock source inside the A1 chip is not supplied to CPU_CLK and
is instead used by other peripherals. Therefore, you can connect a fixed
frequency divider (div5/div7) to peripherals in A1. The CPU control only
supports fclk_div2/div3.
"""
