For safety reasons new flag - CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_BOOST_SW has been added. Only after selecting "EXYNOS Frequency Overclocking - Software" Kconfig option the software managed boost is enabled. It also selects thermal subsystem to be compiled in. Thermal is necessary for disabling boost and cooling down the device when overheating detected. Boost _MUST_NOT_ work without thermal subsystem with properly defined overheating temperatures. This option doesn't affect x86's ACPI hardware managed boost support (i.e. Intel, AMD). In this situation boost management is embedded at hardware.

It depends on ARM_EXYNOS_CPUFREQ options and selects EXYNOS_THERMAL with the main boost config [1].
