ah, thanks.

1G operation needs a certain external voltage condition, though we have
internal regulater. Boards that don't meet the condition have to fall back
to lower frequency.

and for imx53, there' also different max freq board:
http://opensource.freescale.com/git?p=imx/linux-2.6-imx.git;a=blob;f=arch/arm/mach-mx5/mx53_wp.c;h=a63bae42fb661c161cab99d61f4a3108305b0f55;hb=refs/heads/imx_2.6.35_11.09.01

IMHO, even the board has limitations, we'd better give an option to support
it if it's possible.

Thanks
Richard
