I think the reason for this is that it is not true for all PXA31x SoCs.
PXA3xx Specification Update document states, that the 806MHz
operating points were added for PXA31x processors A2 stepping.
This means that it is not true at least for A1 and A0 stepping and
Also, there is nothing stated about the B0 and B1 stepping.

But no details regarding stepping... Marvell's mess...

It is obviously, not a good patch in light of what I've said above.
May be we should build the pxa3xx_freqs table dynamically according
to cpu type and stepping? And set the policy->cpuinfo on the way?
