No worries, I guess I didn't make myself clear enough. Sorry about that.
Let me explain it with more details. @flag is passed down as the following
call trace shows.

   rsi_set_memory_range_protected_safe
     rsi_set_memory_range                             // RSI_NO_CHANGE_DESTROYED
       rsi_set_addr_range_state
         arm_smccc_smc(SMC_RSI_IPA_STATE_SET, ...)

The kernel defines RSI_CHANGE_DESTROYED as a "int" value, but same flag has
been defined as 'unsigned int' value in tf-rmm. However, kernel uses 'unsigned
long' flags to hold it.

   // kernel's prototype - 'unsigned long flags'
   static inline int rsi_set_memory_range(phys_addr_t start, phys_addr_t end,
                                        enum ripas state, unsigned long flags)

   // kernel's definition - 'int'
   #define RSI_CHANGE_DESTROYED    0

   // tf-rmm's definition - 'unsigned int'
   #define U(_x)                 (unsigned int)(_x)
   #define RSI_CHANGE_DESTROYED  U(0)

The point was 0 and RSI_NO_CHANGE_DESTROYED are interchangeable. Since RSI_NO_CHANGE_DESTROYED
has been defined as 0, why we don't used RSI_NO_CHANGE_DESTROYED?

for_each_mem_range() is a helper provided by memory block management module.
So 'memory block' sounds like more accurate than broadly used term "memory
range" here.

Ok. Thanks for the explanation.
