The answer is a resounding 'probably'. I don't know what speed the CPU
and bus run at if CONFIG_CPU_FREQ isn't set. If the kernel leaves all
the clock configuration registers alone, it'll end up running at
whatever speed bootldr left it at.

At the moment, bootldr leaves the bus running at 104MHz, so Samosa would
work reliably, but you can probably see that this is a fragile state of
affairs.
