[PATCH v2 1/8] dt-bindings: arm: Add Live Firmware Activation binding

[Andre Przywara]

The Arm Live Firmware Activation spec [1] describes updating firmware
images during runtime, without requiring a reboot. Update images might
be deployed out-of-band, for instance via a BMC, in this case the OS
needs to be notified about the availability of a new image.

This binding describes an interrupt that could be triggered by the
platform, to notify about any changes.
