Note that the kernel doesn't use the device tree to detect the
CPU type. It rather runs the PVR through a table in
arch/ppc/kernel/cputable.c. There is currently no hook you could
use to 'fix' that. Ideally, you should make sure the CPU is properly
detected before the fixups are done or you may "lose" some 750fx
specific code.

Terry: do you setup PLL1 ? I assume it's set to a low freq by
the firmware and switch to it during idle among others...

If PLL1 isn't set, you should probably not set powersave_lowspeed
in arch/ppc/platforms/pmac_feature.c.
