If their BIOS/EC is using one and reverse engineered software is using
the other, you will expect problems.

Correctly implemented ACPI should 1-1 match both modes, so we do not
care what the manufacturer did. Caring means their boost values are
not being properly set.

The problem you need to keep in mind is that if the EC or BIOS is setting policy you are going to get into a situation of last one setting it wins.

BIOS/EC policy could change on anything: battery level, power adapter, sensors etc.
