According to tegra20_clocks_data.c, the maximum clock frequency for
host1x is 166 MHz, so 216 is probably not a good idea. 150 MHz sounds
sensible, though.
I was going to send a new version of the patch set tonight, but I'll
wait until I can test it tomorrow and once Terje has reported back that
things work fine.
