The device-tree properties no-need-l1d-flush-msr-pr-1-to-0 and
no-need-l1d-flush-kernel-on-user-access are the equivalents of
H_CPU_BEHAV_NO_L1D_FLUSH_ENTRY and H_CPU_BEHAV_NO_L1D_FLUSH_UACCESS
from the H_GET_CPU_CHARACTERISTICS hcall on pseries respectively.
In commit d02fa40d759f ("powerpc/powernv: Remove POWER9 PVR version
check for entry and uaccess flushes") the condition for disabling the
L1D flush on kernel entry and user access was changed from any non-P9
CPU to only checking P7 and P8. Without the appropriate device-tree
checks for newer processors on powernv, these flushes are unnecessarily
enabled on those systems. This patch corrects this.
Fixes: d02fa40d759f ("powerpc/powernv: Remove POWER9 PVR version check for
entry and uaccess flushes")
