So after this patch, driver_data is only going to be used by drivers
which want an "unsigned int" value to be saved along with the
frequency in the frequency_table and for those who want to overload
its interpretation to indicate BOOST.

So, wouldn't it be logical to allow drivers maintain their own driver
data since the core is anyway not interested in it, and change this
.driver_data to "flags" or some such which can indicate boost ?
