Ah, you are right. I was mistaken. crashkernel=xM,high crashkernel=0,low
works correctly with your v6 patch. I am fine if you want to take a
different code flow to implement, as long as the actual result is the
same. I personally would make the code logic the same as arm64. So this
patches looks good to me.
