Since this patch landed, on the HiKey board at bootup I'm seeing:

>From skimming the patch, it seems this is maybe expected? Or should

It seems to trigger on the pstore memory at 0x21f00000-0x21ffffff.

/proc/iomem now has:
...
07410000-21efffff : System RAM
  11000000-1113cfff : reserved
21f00000-21ffffff : reserved
  21f00000-21f1ffff : persistent_ram
  21f20000-21f3ffff : persistent_ram
  21f40000-21f5ffff : persistent_ram
  21f60000-21f7ffff : persistent_ram
  21f80000-21f9ffff : persistent_ram
  21fa0000-21fbffff : persistent_ram
  21fc0000-21fdffff : persistent_ram
  21fe0000-21ffffff : persistent_ram
22000000-34ffffff : System RAM
...

Where previously it had:
...
07410000-21efffff : System RAM
21f00000-21f1ffff : persistent_ram
21f20000-21f3ffff : persistent_ram
21f40000-21f5ffff : persistent_ram
21f60000-21f7ffff : persistent_ram
21f80000-21f9ffff : persistent_ram
21fa0000-21fbffff : persistent_ram
21fc0000-21fdffff : persistent_ram
21fe0000-21ffffff : persistent_ram
22000000-34ffffff : System RAM
...



thanks
