Thanks for your patches!

I see the following anomalies on Salvator-X (R-Car H3 ES1.0 and M3-W ES1.0)
and Salvator-XS (R-Car H3 ES2.0):

1. dmesg:

    cpufreq: cpufreq_online: CPU0: Running at unlisted freq: 2999999 KHz
    cpu cpu0: dev_pm_opp_set_rate: failed to find current OPP for freq
2999999880 (-34)
    cpufreq: cpufreq_online: CPU0: Unlisted initial frequency changed
to: 1500000 KHz

2. Z2 clock frequency:

    grep -wE "(z|z2)" /sys/kernel/debug/clk/clk_summary
          z2                              0            0  2399999904
       0 0
          z                               0            0  1499999940
       0 0

So Linux is off by a factor of two for the initial Z and Z2 clock frequencies.
Which means it's probably off by a factor of two all the time, and thus running
the CA57 CPU cores at 750 MHz instead of 1.5 GHz?

<looking at the PMU cycle counter>

Yes, it's only running at 750 MHz.
