Yes. Boost attribute will be visible only when boost is supported.

I will stick to the rule proposed at patch 1/4, ver 4.

I would prefer to set boot_enabled at
cpufreq_boost_trigger_state() method. It is closer to the
cpufreq_driver->enable_boost and cpufreq_boost_trigger_state_sw();
functions, which do change the freq.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I would prefer to change this
name to enable_boost_hw
It is more informative, since it is tailored to hw based boost (Intel).

I will rewrite it as follow:
if (ret)
boost_enabled = 0;
write_unlock_irqrestore(&cpufreq_driver_lock, flags);
pr_debug("%s: cpufreq BOOST %s\n", __func__,
state ? "enabled" : "disabled");
return ret;

I will export cpufreq_boost_enabled() and cpufreq_boost_supported()

This will be only exported when cpufreq_boost_supported() is true.

Let's only rely on the cpufreq_boost_enabled() test here.

We had agreed to talk only about cpufreq :-).
This declaration will be removed.
