Yes, just 800MHz.  I just copied the code from board-omap3beagle.c, so
it is actually 800MHz for MPU and 660MHz for IVA.

I tried running with that and with your patch reverted and it works
perfectly.  I even get 33% better speed on CPU-intensive workloads, so it
really is running at 800MHz.

I have a basic understanding of the schematics, but I don't really know what
to look for when it comes to power routing.
If you happen to have time and interest, the schematics are in the manual
that can be downloaded from 

    http://projects.goldelico.com/p/gta04-main/downloads/

I've got the GTA04A3, so GTA04A3-1-complete.pdf is the one you want.
