OK, that sounds like this is the right change, then.

To Mark's point, I measured voltage using the builtin voltage
measurement feature this board (not 100% sure the accuracy / precision
guarantees on them, but...):

Asked for 1.300 volts on vdd_arm (dcdc1).
* Before: got 1.326
* After: got 1.310

Asked for 1.3 on vdd_gpu (dcdc2):
* Before: 1.326
* After: got 1.314

Asked for 1.0 on vdd_gpu:
* Before: 1.038
* After: got 1.026

Asked for .8 on vdd_gpu
* Before:.836
* After: got .822


It almost sounds like we're still running a little too high for
voltages, but this gets us in the right direction I guess.
