[PATCH v2 3/8] firmware: smccc: lfa: Move image rescanning

From: Andre Przywara

Date: Tue Mar 17 2026 - 06:43:35 EST


From: Vedashree Vidwans <vvidwans@xxxxxxxxxx>

After an image activation, the list of firmware images might change, so
we have to re-iterate them through the SMC interface.
Move the corresponding code from the activate_fw_image() function into
update_fw_images_tree(), where it could be reused more easily, for
instance when triggered by an interrupt.
