The set_boost is callback used by cpufreq.c, the boost_supported is not documented before the patch.
We just need to add new sysfs "cpb_boost" introduction in the "/Documentation/admin-guide/pm/amd-pstate.rst"
The legacy boost is not supported any more, we have no need to document it again as it is.
