Subject: Re: [PATCH v4 1/6] cpufreq: make scaling_boost_freqs sysfs attr
 available when boost is enabled

Hi,

I would suggest you sending such patches as reply to the earlier
threads only, instead of a new chain. This will save your time.

For example, you will need to resend other patches unnecessarily if I
NAK this patch :)

This isn't scalable. We can't create a new generic structure every time
a entry comes in. Rather we should leave the generic attr for
cpufreq-dt and do something like this in the cpufreq-dt driver (And
that patch should rather go via cpufreq tree and not ARM SoC)..
