Lets not use terms like cuz... 'because' is perfect term :)

It can rephrased to:
There is no reason to limit the performance on the 'NO-FLUSHP' SoCs
beacuse 'FLUSHP' instruction is broken on these platforms, so remove the
limit to improve the efficiency

This is not related to broken flush and should be a different patch
explaining why this changes were done
