[PATCH] cpufreq: Report if CPU doesn't report boost technologies

From: Erwan Velu
Date: Wed Feb 20 2019 - 05:11:01 EST


There is some rare cases where CPB (and possibly IDA) are missing on processors.
This is the case fixed by commit f7f3dc00f612 ("x86/cpu/AMD: Fix erratum 1076 (CPB bit)") and following.

In such context, the boost status isn't reported by /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost.

This commit is about printing a message reporting the CPU doesn't expose the boost capabilities.
This message could help debugging platforms hit by this phenomena.
