The reserved memory region for ramoops is assumed to be at a
fixed and known location when read from the devicetree. This
is not desirable in an environment where it is preferred the
region to be dynamically allocated at runtime, as opposed to
being fixed at compile time.
So, update the ramoops binding by inheriting some reserve memory
property to allocate the ramoops region dynamically.
