Lets clarify, Nokia designed the N900 and implemented the TI chip inside it, TI designed the chip and have the data sheet, who were you originally refering too?

Use the above or even watch cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats/scaling_cur_freq .
The general consensus seems the MIPS aren't exactly accurate but they can't be far off since it seems to scale with whatever the specs of the N900 state (min and max speeds), kernal changes or not.

Either way I'll submit to your point of it not being accurate since I don't have any better arguements against it.

However, I don't seem to have scaling_cur_freq, only time_in_stat and total_trans in that path....
