Hi Lukasz,

It was actually something that Armbian had been doing as an overlay for
their setup, and I thought, why does it need to be an overlay, when we
could simply hide it behind turbo-mode so that if users want to
overclock, they simply echo 1 and if it's unstable or cooling/power
isn't enough, they can echo 0 or leave it off (boost defaults to off) -
so that being said:

I apply this patch
https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/build-scripts/kali-arm/-/blob/master/patches/pinebook-pro/pbp-5.14/rk3399-opp-overclock-2GHz-turbo-mode.patch
which adds the 1.5GHz for little cores and 2GHz for the big to the
rk3399 dtsi

To enable at boot time, I simply have "echo 1 >
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost" in my /etc/rc.local  And to
disable, simply echo 0 in there (it defaults to 0 so it's off and most
users won't know it exists.)

I'm pretty sure this is "abusing" turbo-mode, but it works well enough...

Hope that helps,

-- steev
