pseries_update_drconf_memory() runs from a DT notifier in response to
an update to the ibm,dynamic-memory property of the
/ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory node. This property is an older
less compact format than the ibm,dynamic-memory-v2 property used in
most currently supported firmwares. There has never been an equivalent
function for the v2 property.

pseries_update_drconf_memory() compares the 'assigned' flag for each
LMB in the old vs new properties and adds or removes the block
accordingly. However it appears to be of no actual utility:

* Partition suspension and PRRNs are specified only to change LMBs'
  NUMA affinity information. This notifier should be a no-op for those
  scenarios since the assigned flags should not change.

* The memory hotplug/DLPAR path has a hack which short-circuits
  execution of the notifier:
     dlpar_memory()
        ...
        rtas_hp_event = true;
        drmem_update_dt()
           of_update_property()
              pseries_memory_notifier()
                 pseries_update_drconf_memory()
                    if (rtas_hp_event) return;

So this code only makes sense as a relic of the time when more of the
DLPAR workflow took place in user space. I don't see a purpose for it
now.
