AFAIK, PLLX could run at ~200MHz. There is also a divided output of PLLP
which CCLKG supports, the PLLP_OUT4.

Probably, realistically, CPU is always running off a fast PLLX during
boot, but I'm wondering what may happen on KEXEC. I guess ideally
CPUFreq driver should also have a 'shutdown' callback to teardown DFLL
on a reboot, but likely that there are other clock-related problems as
well that may break KEXEC and thus it is not very important at the moment.
