failure to enumerate AMD Carrizo boost states

Dear all,

I run CURRENT on a laptop with an AMD Carrizo (A12-8800B) which should
have multiple boost states (Pb) according to the official
specifications (see [1] and [2] pages 59 and 63). CURRENT fails to
enumerate them and therefore only runs at base clock.

A thread on freebsd-acpi [3] did unfortunately not help much, so I am
hoping that the wider audience here may help?

Thanks a lot for your time!

Johannes
