`boost_supported` as a field of `struct amd_cpudata` is documented in the kernel-doc right before the structure, and this bit should be removed like shown below:

```
--- a/include/linux/amd-pstate.h
+++ b/include/linux/amd-pstate.h
@@ -56,7 +56,6 @@ struct amd_aperf_mperf {
  * @cur: Difference of Aperf/Mperf/tsc count between last and current sample
  * @prev: Last Aperf/Mperf/tsc count value read from register
  * @freq: current cpu frequency value
- * @boost_supported: check whether the Processor or SBIOS supports boost mode
  * @hw_prefcore: check whether HW supports preferred core featue.
  * 		  Only when hw_prefcore and early prefcore param are true,
  * 		  AMD P-State driver supports preferred core featue.
