Hi Stefan,

We'd had some pretty serious instability on our platform with the older
values (prior to the commit mentioned above).  I recall seeing that
change go in, and reviewed the discussion on Freescale's support forum,
but left things as they were pending official comment from Freescale.

"If it isn't broken...."

We can certainly try the new defaults and see if it crops up again.

FWIW, yes, we're running at 500 MHz.

Best regards,
- -Cory
