There are no internals version of aforementioned functions, but in the
sense of common convention for such that encapsulate a single TPM
command and nothing more or less, your argument make sense.

But it is somewhat common pattern to prefix internal/unlocked version
with two underscores. So summarizing this I think that the best names
would be __tpm2_flush_context_cmd() and tpm2_flush_context_cmd().

But now that I looked at your patch, I remembered the reason why the
function in question does not take ops, albeit I'm not fully in the
page why this was not properly implemented in trusted_tpm2.c.

The principal idea was that the client, e.g. trusted keys would take
the ops and execute series of commands and then return ops. Otherwise,
there is a probel in atomicity, i.e. someone could race between unseal
and flush.

int tpm2_unseal_trusted(struct tpm_chip *chip,
			struct trusted_key_payload *payload,
			struct trusted_key_options *options)
{
	u32 blob_handle;
	int rc;

	rc = tpm_try_get_ops(chip);
	if (rc)
		goto out;

	rc = tpm2_load_cmd(chip, payload, options, &blob_handle);
	if (rc)
		goto out;

	rc = tpm2_unseal_cmd(chip, payload, options, blob_handle);
	tpm2_flush_context(chip, blob_handle);

out:
	tpm_put_ops(chip);
	return rc;
}

In addition to this fix, I think we should put a note to kdoc of each
exported function that please grab the ops before using.
