Okay, then the macro should be 

#define EBU_ADDR_MASK(x)	((x) << 4)

And now I'd like you to explain why 5 is the right value for that field
(I guess that has to do with the position of the CS/ALE/CLE pins).

You set EBU_ADDR_SEL(reg) once here...

... and a second time here. That sounds like overwriting the
EBU_ADDR_SEL(reg) register to me.

See my above.

That's not explaining what the base address should be. Is 'nand_pa' the
value we should have there?
