Nice, works for me with 3.4.6 :) will push that to default SHR kernel today

OMAP3630/3730-GP ES2.1, CPU-OPP2, L3-165MHz, Max CPU Clock 1 Ghz

SHR root at gjama ~ $ cpufreq-info 
cpufrequtils 008: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2009
Report errors and bugs to cpufreq at vger.kernel.org, please.
analyzing CPU 0:
  driver: omap
  CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0
  CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0
  maximum transition latency: 300 us.
  hardware limits: 300 MHz - 800 MHz
  available frequency steps: 300 MHz, 600 MHz, 800 MHz
  available cpufreq governors: conservative, ondemand, userspace,
powersave, performance
  current policy: frequency should be within 300 MHz and 800 MHz.
                  The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use
                  within this range.
  current CPU frequency is 300 MHz (asserted by call to hardware).
  cpufreq stats: 300 MHz:81.65%, 600 MHz:4.50%, 800 MHz:13.84%  (19)

Neil: I've noticed that last 2 patches weren't synced to github repo yet
OE @ ~/projects/linux-2.6 $ git log neilbrown/gta04/3.5.y..neilbrownSlower/3.5-gta04 --oneline
7452619 Enable 800MHz Operating Power Point.
