[merged mm-nonmm-stable] kho-update-fdt-dynamically-for-subtree-addition-removal.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: kho: update FDT dynamically for subtree addition/removal
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     kho-update-fdt-dynamically-for-subtree-addition-removal.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: kho: update FDT dynamically for subtree addition/removal
Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2025 13:59:59 -0500

Currently, sub-FDTs were tracked in a list (kho_out.sub_fdts) and the
final FDT is constructed entirely from scratch during kho_finalize().

We can maintain the FDT dynamically:
1. Initialize a valid, empty FDT in kho_init().
2. Use fdt_add_subnode and fdt_setprop in kho_add_subtree to
   update the FDT immediately when a subsystem registers.
3. Use fdt_del_node in kho_remove_subtree to remove entries.

This removes the need for the intermediate sub_fdts list and the
reconstruction logic in kho_finalize().  kho_finalize() now only needs to
trigger memory map serialization.
