I'm aware, I have a very large patch which fixes SA1100, but there's
other ARM machine classes which are similarly broken.

We've been around this loop before, where a change like this was
introduced and reverted.  The kernel community seems set to constantly
repeat the same old mistakes time and time again.

This is just not acceptable, and could lead to LCD panel damage due
to wrong timings - not all platforms boot at 206.4MHz.  Given that
it's far better that the kernel be obviously broken than silently
wrong while causing hardware damage.
