This is interesting, I was not aware of the different clock frequency issue. Anyway, the patch I am using to fix the crawling console output symptom on the Elan is entirely different (see attachment). It was originally posted by Anders Larsen and we have been using it with good success in our embedded Linux product for quite a while now. The comments in the source describe the problem. Interestingly, even the latest AMD Elan product (SC520) seems to have this problem too.
