> @thypon how does it affect power consumption. I know that excessive power consumption (even with the barrel charger plugged in) has been an issue. Especially when using an SSD.

I tested with power cord on. That really depends on the usage. Do you want me to do a battery time test from 100 to 0? Or watt usage? Watt usage is below 12w for me.

The problem is I have a very power efficient nvme, because I bought the less power hungry available, but that may not apply to everybody.

The barrel charger is known to not be able to provide enough energy even with no overclock, but this is a problem due to power hungry pcie devices imho.

After applying the patch it is anyway possible to disable the 2.01ghz extra step with /sys so I don't see a huge problem, if it does not crash in most cases. Disabling it requires only an 'echo', enabling dtb or dto compilation and loading through uboot.
