[PATCH v5 1/2] dt-bindings: ramoops: Add support to get the region dynamically

From: Mukesh Ojha
Date: Thu Feb 02 2023 - 04:28:37 EST


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 using some reserve memory
property to allocate the ramoops region dynamically.
