I think Geert commented on the clock topic, so let's move it there.
Disabling and enabling clock to change their rate looks real odd to me.

The copy of minimon I have says 6 , but maybe this is flash specific ?

What happens if wait_msg_xfer_end() returns non-zero ? I guess that
means the transfer timed out ?

You can take a look into the U-Boot driver(s) I linked, that's used on
the other SoCs you listed (except for V3H).
