Actually, looking at a device-tree dump, it seems the min frequency
reported by Open Firmware is indeed 53Mhz. I suspect it's a bug in
OF on this machine (either that or Apple added a way to scale to
more than 2 frequencies).
Please try adding that:
value = (u32 *)get_property(cpunode, "min-clock-frequency", NULL);
if (!value)
goto out;
low_freq = (*value) / 1000;
+/* The PowerBook G4 12" (PowerBook6,1) has an error in the device-tree
+ * here */
+if (low_freq < 100000)
+ low_freq *= 10;
Around line 272 of pmac_cpufreq.c. Please, still do the dumps
with #define DEBUG enabled so I can check the fequencies are
indeed correct.
Ben.
