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 commitd02fa40d75("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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
