Previous patch kept ARM_EXYNOS_CPU_FREQ_BOOST_SW config option
which selected EXYNOS_THERMAL.  After recent changes (boost
support enabled in the cpufreq-dt driver when there are turbo
OPPs in board's dts file) ARM_EXYNOS_CPU_FREQ_BOOST_SW config
option become redundant and was removed.  However we still
would like to allow enabling boost support only if thermal
support is also enabled for Exynos platforms.

[ There may be a better way to do this in the future (runtime
  checking for thermal support being enabled) but currently
  there seems to be no thermal infrastructure to allow this. ]
