Ok, understood. So the mx6q fuse indicates that 1.2GHz operation is
possible on , but the board itself does not behave nicely at this
frequency.

Maybe you could send a v2 of this patch that matches the operating
points form mx6qdl.dtsi and remove only the 1.2GHz entry and put the
explanation you gave us here in the dts and commit log.
