Hi Akashi,

Apologies for delay in replying. Somehow my email filter rules messed up and the review email was sent to another folder.

Please see my comments inline:

At several occasions it would be useful to dump the fdt
blob being passed to the second (kexec/kdump) kernel
when '-d' flag is specified while invoking kexec/kdump.

This allows one to look at the device-tree fields that
is being passed to the secondary kernel and accordingly
debug issues.

This can be specially useful for the arm64 case, where
kexec_load() or kdump passes important information like
'linux,usable-memory' ranges to the second kernel, and
the correctness of the ranges can be verified by
looking at the device-tree dump with '-d' flag specified.

Pointer doesn't always fit to unsigned long.

+#define GET_CELL(p)    (p += 4, *((const uint32_t *)(p-4)))

Tricky :) Inline function would be better.

Ok.


Well, I was working on converting this into an inline function, but the final implementation turned out to be more 'trickier' then the macro, so I would suggest that we stick to the macro for now (for the v4) and later when I can think of a better approach, I will submit another patch to fix the issue.

Please let me know in case of any concerns.
I would try to send out v4 later today.

Thanks,
Bhupesh
