In the existing code, per-policy flags doesn't have any impact i.e.
if cpufreq_driver boost is enabled and one or more of the per-policy

enabled.

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.

I had to update the policy->boost_enabled value because we seem
to allow enabling cpufreq_driver.boost_enabled from the driver, but I
can drop that because it was just for book keeping.

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.

I didn't want
to include redundant info from another mail thread that I referenced in
the cover letter, but will add more info in the re-spin.

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

ack, will make these changes in the next re-spin.
