I don't think this is a good idea: the CPU clock may be changed at any
time with the CPUFreq governor. I don't see the system moving from
1008MHz to 24MHz and then to 1200MHz when some computation is needed!

BTW, Ondřej, in my BPi M2+, I tried to change the CPU clock with your
code at kernel start time from 792MHz to 1008MHz, but the hardware
(arisc?) set an other value, and the system speed was lower than before
(the PLL-CPUx register is 0x90031521 on boot, I want to set it to
xxxx1410 and I read 0x91031f33 - sorry, I did not have a look at the
CPU SD pattern). Do you know why?
