Is there a reason that we can't use the existing pseries_memory_notifier()
callback in pseries/hotplug-memory.c to trigger the drmem_update_lmbs() when
either the ibm,dynamic-memory or ibm,dynamic-memory-v2 properties are updated?

Something like:

static int pseries_memory_notifier(struct notifier_block *nb,
unsigned long action, void *data)
{
struct of_reconfig_data *rd = data;
int err = 0;

switch (action) {
case OF_RECONFIG_ATTACH_NODE:
err = pseries_add_mem_node(rd->dn);
break;
case OF_RECONFIG_DETACH_NODE:
err = pseries_remove_mem_node(rd->dn);
break;
case OF_RECONFIG_UPDATE_PROPERTY:
if (!strcmp(rd->dn->full_name, "ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory"));
drmem_update_lmbs(rd->prop);
break;
}
return notifier_from_errno(err);
}

Your drmem_update_lmbs() would need to be updated to take a property and to
check the property name against ibm,dyanmic-memory[-v2].
