400MHz (instead of 200MHz) adds some 30mA. If you have LDO6 (LCM) on
and have taken Glamo out of reset, that should be roughly another
20-30mA. (I never measured what LDO6 alone draws. Glamo draws 15mA
and LDO1, 2, 5, and 6 together burn 40mA.)

All the numbers are in this thread:

So it seems our measurements agree.

Yup.

At least the part that's tweaking the core clock. We still have to
be careful not to bring up any new peripherals or enable other rails
before we know that power is good.

(I can imagine someone now suggesting to put them all into modules and
only have ADC and USB in the monolithic part of the kernel ;-)
