Subject: powerpc/powernv: Use the security flags in pnv_setup_rfi_flush()
To: g...@kroah.com
Cc: sta...@vger.kernel.org, t...@linutronix.de, linuxppc-...@ozlabs.org
Message-ID: <20180522144125.10345-9-...@ellerman.id.au>
From: Michael Ellerman <m...@ellerman.id.au>
commit 37c0bdd00d3ae83369ab60a6712c28e11e6458d5 upstream.
Now that we have the security flags we can significantly simplify the
code in pnv_setup_rfi_flush(), because we can use the flags instead of
checking device tree properties and because the security flags have
pessimistic defaults.
