I'm using the attached 4 patches (Tony master + beagle patches _+ dvfs: http://dominion.thruhere.net/git/cgit.cgi/linux-omap/log/?h=koen/beagle-next) on my beagle C4 and overo tide to get 720MHz. They don't really work:
for 3530, keep in mind that not *all* boards can support 720MHz (esp the 
old 3430 boards, like my poor SDP3430).
since we consider 3530 as 3430 as well, add a default disabled 720MHz 
OPP in the 3430 table and enable it:
a) if this has anything to do with board behavior (which, unlike 36xx, I 
dont think is the case for 35xx), enable similar to this patch on the 
required boards on a need basis (e.g. based on board rev)
b) if this is a silicon behavior, then, you should modify the 
omap3_opp_init to ensure that for the right silicon this is enabled 
(e.g. only for 3530 rev X onwards or something similar) - but you will 
need some way to detect it in s/w (not through bootargs please!)

This is coz we dont have 720MHz and max enabled freq is 600MHz so it 
falls back to that freq.

as discussed above.
