Software-managed BOOST get the boost frequency by check the flag
CPUFREQ_BOOST_FREQ at driver's frequency table. But some cpufreq driver
don't have frequency table and use other methods to get the frequency
range, such CPPC cpufreq driver.

To add SW BOOST support for drivers without frequency table, we add
members in 'cpufreq_policy.cpufreq_cpuinfo' to record the max frequency
of boost mode and non-boost mode. The cpufreq driver initialize these two
members when probing.

Why do you need to update this function?

The driver should be able to provide its own ->set_boost callback just fine,
shouldn't it?

My original thought is to reuse the current SW BOOST code as possible, but this
seems to change the cpufreq core too much.

Thanks for your advice. This is better. I will provide a '->set_boost' callback
for CPPC driver. But I will need to export 'cpufreq_policy_list' and make the
macro 'for_each_active_policy' public.

Thanks,

This can and should be avoided, I will rather move the for-each-policy
loop in cpufreq_boost_trigger_state() and call ->set_boost() for each
policy and pass policy as argument as well. You would be required to
update existing users of sw boost.

Thanks for your advice. It's a good idea. I will change it in the next version.
