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].
