[PATCH v2 7/8] firmware: smccc: lfa: Register DT interrupt

From: Andre Przywara

Date: Tue Mar 17 2026 - 06:37:08 EST


The Arm Live Firmware Activation spec describes an asynchronous
notification mechanism, where the platform can notify the host OS about
newly pending image updates.
In the absence of the ACPI notification mechanism also a simple
devicetree node can describe an interrupt.

Add code to find the respective DT node and register the specified
interrupt, to trigger the activation if needed.
