If the datasheet says the maximum operating frequency is 800 MHz, just adhere to it. Running at 1 GHz on an 800 MHz device is not guaranteed that it works on all the temperature range and across all devices. Better play safe here.

I had to doublecheck this. Original board manufacturer (Starterkit) lists it as "FreeScale iMX536 (ARM Cortex-A8 1000MHz, ...". However I have verified that the board has MCIMX536AVV8C, SoC, which indeed is rated only up to 800 MHz. I'll send v2 using max 800 MHz for safety.

The SK-IMX53 board bearing i.MX536 CPU is not stable when running at 1.2 GHz. Disable that frequency. Note, officially i.MX536 is rated up to 800 MHz, but running it at 1 GHz proved to be stable.
