Till now there was no support for cpufreq for Exynos542x. For some time
Bartlomiej was developing these patches - using opp-v1 at beginning. I
don't know whether he encountered this before.

Bootloader initialized frequency and regulators to some safe defaults. I
think the voltage set by uboot is 1 V (for big and little) which
corresponds to ~800 MHz of frequency (I don't know the exact frequency
because it is hardcoded as divider value...).

However there was no cooling device except fan. This did not change. So
the only difference seems to be that now at critical shutdown moment it
operates at 1300 MHz / 1.275 V (little) and 1800 MHz / 1.250 V (big).
