Visulizing the problem

Hi together,

The 6.12 Kernel introduces an amd-pstate regression, which makes disabling
boost not possible. 

The max frequency reported by cpupower is correct (4.3 GHz), when  boost is
disabled but it reaches the max frequency and this is not limited.

I have bisected it down to following commit
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240905163007.1350840-9-superm1@kernel.org/ :

```
cpufreq: amd-pstate: Merge amd_pstate_highest_perf_set() into
amd_get_boost_ratio_numerator()

The special case in amd_pstate_highest_perf_set() is the value used
for calculating the boost numerator.  Merge this into
amd_get_boost_ratio_numerator() and then use that to calculate boost
ratio.

This allows dropping more special casing of the highest perf value.

Reverting this commit does fix the **used** frequency limits.
