This seems to be new, what's the justification?


Seems to be a run-time replacement of:
#ifdef CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN
        { "ibm,suspend-me", -1, -1, -1, -1, -1 },
        { "ibm,update-nodes", -1, 0, -1, -1, -1, 4096 },
        { "ibm,update-properties", -1, 0, -1, -1, -1, 4096 },
#endif

It looks to be handled logically:
+ if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN) &&
+           (func->flags & RTAS_FN_FLAG_BANNED_FOR_SYSCALL_ON_LE))
+               goto err;

Perhaps, also allow the addition of any future special cases
for rtas functions easier to maintain?
