Please explain it more.  This patch needs to be first for cpufreq-dt
switch to be complete.  scaling_boost_freqs is available currently
for exynos-cpufreq users when boost is enabled and ideally we would
like it to be available immediately after the switch to cpufreq-dt.

boost entry is rather generic one so I imagine that other cpufreq
drivers that add support for boost would also like to use it.

Anyway since there are no such drivers currently I agree that
making a new generic structure may be premature and I will re-do
this patch according to your request.
