v4.18-rc1 on droid 4: very bad CPU performance

Hi!
OK. I checked and duovero runs only at 600MHz. I can only
get down to 19 seconds with omap2plus_defconfig if I disable
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ so the max speed is maintained from bootloader.
Otherwise it runs at most at 1GHz, I think any higher speeds
need smartreflex and voltage scaling working which we don't
have in the mainline kernel. Not sure what happens with higher
speeds with mainline kernel or if they are unsafe in the long
run.

Anyways, care to post your .config somewhere so I can see what
the numbers are for me with it?
After reboot (same config as in previous mail), before x / ofono /
unicsy_demo /... were started:
