> Something like this:

cpudata->boost_supported  will be initialized in amd_pstate_init_boost(),  if system is identified to support boost control, then each CPU will mark boost_supported to be true.

In the next, the set_boost callback will check boost mode is not supported or not before it do real boost switching operation.

amd_pstate_init_boost() was added to initialize everything that control needs,  the below function will set “cpudata->boost_supported”  value when it returns.

static int amd_pstate_init_boost(struct cpufreq_policy *policy)
{
        struct amd_cpudata *cpudata = policy->driver_data;
        int ret;

        /* initialize cpu cores boot state */
        ret = amd_pstate_boost_set(cpudata);<<<<------- “cpudata->boost_supported”  will be set to true or false.
        if (ret)
                return ret;

        policy->boost_enabled = READ_ONCE(cpudata->boost_state);

        return 0;
}
