dm: core: Add a note about how livetree updates work The unflattening algorithm results in a single block of memory being allocated for the whole tree. When writing new properties, these are allocated new memory outside that block. When the block is freed, the allocated properties remain. Document how this works and the potential memory leak, as well as mentioning that updating the livetree is actually supported now. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
