I'm probably conflating too many things, between what I was observing on
Linux, which seemed to default to max clock of 1512 on little cores and
what I see on FreeBSD. I see in rk3399-opp.dtsi that those freq_levels
match what's in the freq_levels in sysctl, so not sure the discrepency.

What device tree are you using to get up to 2200?
