I don't think mpurate does anything on AM335x, though I could be
wrong---just that I've not heard of anyone using it for any purpose.

The BogoMIPS values don't seem to be very useful. I'm not sure of
their purpose, but the hopefully useful information I can offer you is
that if you are running a kernel supporting dynamic frequency scaling
on AM335x, the number tends to be lower.

Use the cpufreq tools to determine and set the frequency.
