Presently the driver would have it default to 1 MHz, Which doesn't match
the driver binding. Will fix this.

I don't know. It's only used at init time.

And in my latest experience, once the runtime address is set by the
bootloader, it can't be changed. My earlier experience was the opposite,
though I haven't figured out why.

Hmm... I didn't know this was legal.
