The normal way of getting the speed of the chip is by doing
busspeed*multiplier, in the 210MHz case it would be 60MHz*3.5
So if it was overclocked from 160 to 210MHz, it should write the right
speed(210) anyway. Various coders have in the past had difficulties
calculating the correct value(early ADoomPPC, early ppc.library, early
Quake ports, etc), so it's probably a bug like that.
