Yes, but why?

You don't like my convenience functions? :) I always thought
qcom_scm_get_response_buffer() read better than

(void *)cmd->buf + le32_to_cpu(cmd->resp_hdr_offset);

At the least the diff would be more concentrated on what really
is happening in this patch if we left these functions as is.

Please leave this as u32, the interface doesn't support anything
wider here so we shouldn't let this change on LPAE.

Yay we should delete secure_flush_area() too.

Hmm maybe we should pass __scm instead of dev? Is there any
advantage to that?
