Sorry but you don't seem to understand the issue.

The problem is that without my patch and with your OPP-v2 patches
turbo frequencies get picked by OPP/cpufreq core and then by cpufreq-dt.
This happens without enabling any boost & thermal etc. support for
turbo frequencies.

I consider the possibility to use turbo frequencies without explicitly
enabling boost support to be a buggy behavior.  While it is unlikely
that somebody defines turbo frequencies in their dts file in the near
future (except Exynos ones) it costs as nearly nothing to prevent
such behavior now.
