No, I will use:

if (boost_enabled != state) {
	write_lock_irqsave(&cpufreq_driver_lock, flags);
	boost_enabled = state;

	ret = cpufreq_driver->enable_boost(state);
	^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ only one callback call
	if (ret)
		boost_enabled = 0;

	write_unlock_irqrestore(&cpufreq_driver_lock, flags);

	if (ret)
		pr_err("%s: BOOST cannot enable (%d)\n",
		       __func__, ret);
}

and @ cpufreq_register_driver() I will add following line:

if (!cpufreq_driver->enable_boost)
	cpufreq_driver->enable_boost = &cpufreq_boost_enable_sw;

When cpufreq driver doesn't define callback for enable_boost it will be
filled with default SW cpufreq_boost_enable_sw callback.
