It's fine to use an LLM as assistance in the process, but the actual code needs = to be written by hand. Also, if enabling reclocking on GT21X was this simple w= e would have turned it on by default right now. This will cause flickering issues with displays because of the fact that we don't setup display watermarks, which is the primary reason we never made this automatic. On to= p of the fact that I'm fairly certain tesla has a number of other issues with reclocking in general.
