To: sta...@vger.kernel.org, gre...@linuxfoundation.org

Message-ID: <20190421142037.21881-17-...@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.
