Can you make it more detail? The have_resp is a bool, so where to add the flag?
The caller ONLY passes imx_sc_ipc, imx_sc_rpc_msg and have_resp, ONLY
imx_sc_ipc can add a flag, is it what you meant?

imx_scu_call_rpc(struct imx_sc_ipc *sc_ipc, void *msg, bool have_resp)

I agree, maybe we can add a new imx_scu_call_rpc function for those special APIs?
The new API will be ONLY for those APIs with response but without return value check,
then other callers will NOT be impacted, what do you think?

Thanks,
Anson
