In the EPP driver mode, there is no frequency boost options to control for user end currently, the boost is created for the iowait boost feature.
The CPU cores scaling range is controlled by the lowlevel firmware. 
Next, we will consider adding interface to influence the Min/Max Frequency if customers need that.
