Enabling boost later raises policy->cpuinfo.max_freq but leaves capacity_freq_ref behind. Two things then go wrong on arm64, where the AMU drives frequency invariance. amu_scale_freq_tick() caps the computed scale at SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE, so a CPU running above capacity_freq_ref saturates at 1024: the scheduler cannot tell a boosted CPU from one at the sustained maximum, and utilisation is underestimated. And arch_freq_get_on_cpu(), which reverses that computation, cannot report more than capacity_freq_ref, so cpuinfo_avg_freq is pinned to the non-boost maximum. On a Snapdragon X2 Elite (Glymur) laptop with a 4032000 kHz sustained and a 4723200 kHz boost OPP, cpuinfo_avg_freq reads exactly 4032000 while the CPU runs at 4723200; a fixed workload completes in 1.72 s rather than the 2.01 s that frequency would imply. Factor the update out of init_cpu_capacity_callback() into topology_update_freq_ref() and call it from policy_set_boost(), which is the common path for the global boost knob, the per-policy one, and the CPU online path.
