how to setup PLL1 on 750FX

[Chris Studholme]

I'm trying to set PLL1 on my 750FX to a multiplier of 4 (for a clock speed
of 400MHz) so I can eventually use cpufreq, but the machine keeps locking
up.

I know HID1 is 0x92000000 after boot and except for my twiddling of a bit
to detect the 750FX, it is not changed.  This value is slightly confusing.
It indicates that PLL0 is in use, and its config is external.  PLL_CFG is
18 (decimal) which indicates a multiplier of 9x.  That's fine as my cpu
speed is 900MHz on a 100MHz bus.  But PLL_RNG appears to be 01 (binary),
which is labeled as a reserved value in the IBM docs.  What is the purpose
of PLL_RNG (range bits) anyway?

I'm trying to set PLL1 to 4x using the code:

  mtspr(HID1,(mfspr(HID1)&~0xFE)|0x44);

This should set PLL_CFG to a value of 8 (for a multiplier of 4x) and
PLL_RNG to 10 (binary) which the IBM docs say should be used when the
frequency is below 600MHz.  Note that I've also tried 00 and 01 as values
of PLL_RNG and they all fail.  I've tried this both with and without a
delay afterwards.  My delay is simply:

  for (i=0; i<100000000; ++i) j+=i;

Since I never switch the processor to PLL1, the delay shouldn't matter.
The machine doesn't seem to lockup the moment HID1 is changed (ie. in
finish_device_tree()).  It always locks up during the detection of the IDE
devices.  From dmesg output:

  Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 7.00beta4-2.4
  ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with
  idebus=xx

-> lockup is always here regardless of delay or not and particular setting <-

  hda: host protected area => 1

  usb.c: registered new driver usbdevfs

Is there something else I need to do to set PLL1?
