E.g.:
On a Juno with available frequencies: 600.000, 1.000.000
Boost frequencies: 1.200.000
Using the cppc-cpufreq driver.
I think I suggested adding this example in one of the commits (it is useful),
not sure if it done yet ?
I might have missed the comment sorry, I ll add it.



Without the patches:
