Sure, will rephrase the description.

These reserved memory-regions are utilized by the ath12k firmware. The ath12k driver
stores these memory addresses solely for the purpose of collecting crash dumps
(RAM dumps) when the firmware encounters a crash.

Sure.

This property is added after the below comment.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/qzjgpwemwaknwbs3dwils6kaa5c3inabfvkaryvc32kblzfhy3@6yduooj4dk63/

This `ath12k` in the name of this property is inherited from the 'qcom,ath10k.yaml' and
'qcom,ath11k.yaml'. Same was followed for WSI schema as well.

The WiFi controller in the SoC includes an internal or external Front-End Module (FEM).
These FEMs can vary and require different calibration data. This property uniquely
identify the variant of calibration data required by a FEM.
