Shouldn't this be bootloader agnostic? AFAIK any bootloader ported on
IPQ SoCs and booting linux can access the system RAM.

I mean s/uboot/bootloader here and in the commit log.

Also which entity collects the post-crash data, is it some linux driver?
If yes, can you add more details about it in the commit log.
