Correct.

I use this, because there is no modern U-Boot port for WPCM450 yet
(as far as I'm aware).

I also use kexec, it's useful during development, but I see that it's
not so useful for the BMC usecase.

No, as it currently stands the clock driver is read-only except for the
clock gates, and there is no cpufreq. I'll disable this option.

CPU_IDLE could plausibly be implemented on WPCM450, but currently isn't.
