Subject: [PATCH 4.9 26/61] powerpc/powernv: Support firmware disable of RFI flush

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@...erman.id.au>

commit eb0a2d2620ae431c543963c8c7f08f597366fc60 upstream.

Some versions of firmware will have a setting that can be configured
to disable the RFI flush, add support for it.
