Ah, the dreadful overdrive mode.

That's interesting. I wouldn't have expected that.

I think it would make sense to lower the default clock frequencies, and
provide an overlay to enable overdrive mode.

It's also interesting that the issue only affected the second ISP, as
the first one should also be limited to 400 MHz in normal mode.
