From: James Morse <james.morse@xxxxxxx>
Add documentation for
linux,crashkernel-base and crashkernel-size,
linux,usable-memory-range, and
linux,elfcorehdr
used by arm64 kexec/kdump to decribe the kdump reserved area, and
the elfcorehdr's location within it.
Signed-off-by: James Morse <james.morse@xxxxxxx>
[takahiro.akashi@xxxxxxxxxx:
renamed "usable-memory" to "usable-memory-range",
added "linux,crashkernel-base" and "-size" ]

+linux,crashkernel-base
+linux,crashkernel-size
+----------------------
+These properties are set (on PowerPC and arm64) during kdump to tell
+use-space tools, like kexec-tools, the base address of the crash-dump
+kernel's reserved area of memory and the size. e.g.
+
+/ {
+ chosen {
+ linux,crashkernel-base = <0x9 0xf0000000>;
+ linux,crashkernel-size = <0x0 0x10000000>;

+-------------------------
+
+This property is set (currently only on arm64) during kdump to tell

+----------------
+
+This property is set (currently only on arm64) during kdump to tell
+the crash-dump kernel the address and size of the elfcorehdr that describes
+the old kernel's memory as an elf file. This memory must reside within
+the area described by 'linux,usable-memory-range'. e.g.
