This is interesting, I was not aware of the different clock frequency issue.
Anyway, the patch I am using to fix the crawling console output symptom on
the Elan is entirely different (see attachment). It was originally posted by
Anders Larsen <a.larsen@identecsolutions.de> and we have been using
it with good success in our embedded Linux product for quite a while now.
The comments in the source describe the problem. Interestingly, even the
latest AMD Elan product (SC520) seems to have this problem too.
