Switching the CPU from the L2 or L3 frequencies (300 and 200 Mhz
respectively) to L0 frequency (1.2 Ghz) requires a significant amount
of time to let VDD stabilize to the appropriate voltage. This amount of
time is large enough that it cannot be covered by the hardware
countdown register. Due to this, the CPU might start operating at L0
before the voltage is stabilized, leading to CPU stalls.

To work around this problem, we prevent switching directly from the
L2/L3 frequencies to the L0 frequency, and instead switch to the L1
frequency in-between. The sequence therefore becomes:

1. First switch from L2/L3(200/300MHz) to L1(600MHZ)
2. Sleep 20ms for stabling VDD voltage
3. Then switch from L1(600MHZ) to L0(1200Mhz).
Do you have any comment on this fix?
Looks good. Is it crashing right now? I can throw it into clk-fixes if
it's fixing pain.
