it is, but it's been running like this fine for months. The machine also
builds some 500 ports with poudriere. It's never throttled down due to
heat; the ability to do this is I think outside of freebsd itself.
Importantly [1] for me, the speed isn't nailed up with a boost statement in
config.txt, so it can throttle back should the need arise.

The cable I used was a FTDI usb <> tty cable; it has endings=20
that go over pins on the gpio. The FTDI chip in the usb end of the cable=20
handles the speeds (i think/not sure) but would make sense because
there's no dtoverlay statement regarding uarts. I *do not* connect the
power wire. The connecting machine is also a freebsd machine (amd64)

I think connected in this way that this uart must be hardware and the
disable-bt statement has something to do with it.

[1] as fast as possible with 100% reliability, 24/7
[2] i'm sure you know, but bear in mind that not all silicon is equal,=20
so some might not get to 2GHz without reliability issues
