I don't really think that it is necessary to modify schedutil to
address this issue.

Is there anything specific to AMD CPUs in this function?

Why do you use SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE here?  And why does this multiply
instead of shifting?

Is this assuming that max_freq corresponds to nominal_perf?

So this function may just return the max_boost value with 0 meaning a failure.
