It is already documented:
Documentation/admin-guide/kdump/kdump.rst:
On arm64, use "crashkernel=Y[@X]". Note that the start address of
the kernel, X if explicitly specified, must be aligned to 2MiB (0x200000).

The doc lies :)
memblock_phys_alloc_range() boils down to
for_each_free_mem_range_reverse(i, nid, flags, &this_start, &this_end,
NULL) {
/* clamp this_{start,end} to the user defined limits */
cand = round_down(this_end - size, align);
if (cand >= this_start)
return cand;
}
