Little bit more on this in case you're lacking the datasheet... you need
to crank the CPU core LDO DOWN1 to 1.7V according to the datasheet to
get "around 500MHz".  So it would be (in src/cpu/s3c2442/gta02.c)

- -	{ PCF50633_REG_DOWN1OUT,	0x1b }, /* 1.3V (0x1b * .025V + 0.625V) */

+       { PCF50633_REG_DOWN1OUT,	43 }, /* 1.7V (43 * .025V + 0.625V) */

It's this that really hurts it on power consumption.

Another idea, the memory voltage of nominal 1.8V generated by DOWN2 can
be cranked to max 1.95V, this may help go past 100MHz.

It'd be very cool if it was possible to overclock the thing.
