I never been worried for the BogoMIPS, but actually my board (custom
one) report:
Calibrating delay loop... 66.56 BogoMIPS (lpj=133120)
The core is running at 333MHz also, but what make my focus is the result
of calibrating: 66.56. The main oscillator on my board is 66MHz!? Is the
main oscillator on your board 83.3MHz?
BTW. I'm using older kernel 2.6.20 with patches from freescale.
