I see. Good catch. The first patch is fine, just explain the problem
properly and mention that no one is checking the policy->boost_enabled
field. It is never read.

So with cpufreq_driver->boost_enabled at init time, policy's
boost_enabled must be set too. Do that in the core during
initialization of the policy instead.

You don't have to, but you need to explain the exact problem in a bit
more detail since it wasn't obvious here.
