Instead of storing coredump information inside amdgpu_device struct,
move if to a proper separated struct and allocate it dynamically. This
will make it easier to further expand the logged information.

The patch looks good to me in general, but I would recommend slightly different arrangement and segregation of GPU reset information.

Please consider a higher level structure adev->gpu_reset_info, and move everything related to reset dump info into that, including this new coredump_info structure, something like this:

struct amdgpu_reset_info {

    uint32_t *reset_dump_reg_list;

    uint32_t *reset_dump_reg_value;

    int num_regs;


Right, I can encapsulate there reset_dump members,

#ifdef CONFIG_DEV_COREDUMP

   struct amdgpu_coredump_info *coredump_info;/* keep this dynamic allocation */

but we don't need a pointer for amdgpu_coredump_info inside amdgpu_device or inside of amdgpu_device->gpu_reset_info, right?


#endif

}


This will make sure that all the relevant information is at the same place.
