Thanks, that was a good question.

The "boot_clock" parameter is not used by the linux kernel. It's the
Allwinner's bootloader thing. You can grep the H3 SDK sources to check
this.

As for the other things left to do, the DRAM clock speed needs to
be adjusted in the FEX file after we find a reasonable default DRAM
clock speed.

The reason is that on every cooling state change in the 3.4 kernel
(after crossing any temperature threshold, for example 70C), there
is a hook into the DRAM reclocking code. This code simply sets 480MHz
DRAM clock speed if the temperature is 100C or higher. And if the
temperature is below 100C, then the dram clock value from FEX is
used.
