+linux,low-memory-range
+----------------------
+This property (arm64 only) holds a base address and size, describing a
+limited region below 4G. Similar to "linux,usable-memory-range", it is
+an another memory range which may be considered available for use by the
+kernel.
+
+e.g.
+
+/ {
+ chosen {
+ linux,low-memory-range = <0x0 0x70000000 0x0 0x10000000>;
+ linux,usable-memory-range = <0x202f 0xc0000000 0x0 0x40000000>;
+ };
+};
+
+The main usage is for crash dump kernel devices when reserving crashkernel
+above 4G. When reserving crashkernel above 4G, there may be two crash kernel
+regions, one is below 4G, the other is above 4G. In order to distinct from
+the high region, use this property to pass the low region.
+
+While this property does not represent a real hardware, the address
+and the size are expressed in #address-cells and #size-cells,
+respectively, of the root node.
