Memory Region Address Mask:
Specifies the number of right-most bits in the base address that should 
be included in the address comparison. bits positions(7:4).

it will not overwrite the first one, since two different registers
EBU_ADDR_SEL_0 EBU_ADDR_SEL  20H
EBU_ADDR_SEL_1 EBU_ADDR_SEL  24H

it is an internal address selection w.r.t chip select for nand physical 
address update.

If it's not related, please explain what those

Memory Region Base Address
FPI Bus addresses are compared to this base address in conjunction with 
the mask control(EBU_ADDR_MASK). Driver need to program this field!
