Unfortunately it's not that easy. Earlier Sequoia board revisions are equipped 
with an 33.333MHz oscillator. This can be detected via a CPLD register though. 
Here the "code" from U-Boot (just as an example):

/* Detect Sequoia PLL input clock automatically via CPLD bit            */
#define CONFIG_SYS_BCSR_BASE            0xc0000000
#define CONFIG_SYS_CLK_FREQ    ((in8(CONFIG_SYS_BCSR_BASE + 3) & 0x80) ? \
                                33333333 : 33000000)

But why are you using the boot wrapper? If your U-Boot isn't too old, you can 
boot uImage directly (with dtb of course). No need for the wrapper.

Thanks,
Stefan
