I think you could move such check in __flush_tlb_range() and avoid
cpus_have_const_cap() in two places. More on this below.

I don't think we need __TLBI_VADDR_RANGE to take a tg argument since
it's always the same.

Nitpick: call this MAX_TLBI_RANGE_PAGES as that's not an address range.

It may be useful to have a macro for the range here, something like:

#define __TLBI_PAGES(num, scale) ((num + 1) << (5 * scale + 1))

and define MAX_TLBI_RANGE_PAGES in terms of this macro as
__TLBI_PAGES(31, 3).

Nitpick: no need to capitalise PAGE.

You could use the __TLBI_PAGES macro I proposed above.

So, you start from scale 0 and increment it until you reach the maximum.
I think (haven't done the maths on paper) you could also start from the
top with something like scale = ilog2(range_size) / 5. Not sure it's
significantly better though, maybe avoiding the loop 3 times if your
range is 2MB (which happens with huge pages).

Anyway, I think it would be more efficient if we combine the
__flush_tlb_range() and the _directly one into the same function with a
single loop for both. For example, if the stride is 2MB already, we can
handle this with a single classic TLBI without all the calculations for
the range operation. The hardware may also handle this better since the
software already told it there can be only one entry in that 2MB range.
So each loop iteration could figure which operation to use based on
cpucaps, TLBI range ops, stride and reduce range_size accordingly.
