Please write rpmh_flush() so we know it's a function and not a variable.

Can we introduce a stub function for psci_has_osi_support() when
CONFIG_ARM_PSCI_FW=n? This driver currently has:

  config QCOM_RPMH
        bool "Qualcomm RPM-Hardened (RPMH) Communication"
	depends on ARCH_QCOM && ARM64 || COMPILE_TEST


which implies that this will break build testing once built on something
that isn't arm64.

While the diff is small it is also sad that we turn around after adding
it to a list and immediately take it off the list and send it. Can't we
do this without having to do the list add/remove dance?
