Without knowing anything about the hardware this is all a bit confusing
I'm afraid.  What is "DFLL/cpufreq" as opposed to "the PLL"?

This seems more complex, and also makes the idea of relying on the
initial configuration seem slightly concerning - other software seems to
be already changing the configuration before we get to the kernel so if
we don't fully understand the configuration we're doing we seem likely
to find some configuration where we miss things.
