In the case the call to __add_memory is failing, the flag DRCONF_MEM_ASSIGNED 
should be cleared as I mentioned in your previous patch. In addition to this, 
the DT should be updated, or the caller should manage that but that will be hard 
since it doesn't know where the error happened in this function.

In the case the number of LMB to add is 1, dt_update is never set to true, and 
the device tree is never updated. You need to set dt_update to true earlier in 
the loop block.

That test may have to be review to deal with error during the last LMB addition, 
the DT may have been updated before __add_memory() is failing in 
dlpar_add_lmb(). In that case, lmbs_added == 0 and that branch is not covered. 
That's not an issue if dlpar_add_lmb() is handling that case (see my comment above).
