I think that a name of the patchset, for which the current setting causes problem would be welcome here.
I couldn't find a lkml link to the exact message earlier, but it was discussed here:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/3865481/
Otherwise, I can only ask why it is not possible to add #define SPECIAL_SETTING ~3 ?
Driver wants to use this field for +ve and -ve values and it should be free to do so.... And ~2 was creating problems when he used -3 for this field.. If we make it ~3, then he will face problem for -4..
So, I used a special value 0xABABABAB here whose integer value is: -1414812757
The only other option we have is to add another field "bool boost" in cpufreq_frequency_table, which is the last thing I wanted to do.
And that's the point Gautham was trying to make in one of our IRC chats as well..
