[ 0.000000] Failed to add a Crash kernel resource at 177e00000

The crashkernel memory has been allocated successfully, whereas
it failed to insert into iomem_resource. This is due to the
This is a warning, not a failure, right? Inserting crashk_*res into
iomem_resource has been successful, just the repeated inserting cause
the warning. Maybe, we should tell this in log clearly? Other than minor
concern, this looks good to me, thanks for the testing and this fix:

Thanks for reviewing. Actually this is not only a warning message.
Since when failure occurs in riscv's init_resources(),

error:
release_child_resources(&iomem_resource);

will get called, already added crashkernel memory will hence
get removed. To verify this, I have checked but cannot find
crashkernel memory in /proc/iomem when this problem occurs.

But you are right, it is necessary to make it clear what will
eventually happen in commit message. I will update a v2 patch later
to add these info.

Thanks,

unique reserving logic in risc-v arch specific code, i.e.
crashk_res/crashk_low_res will be added into iomem_resource
later in init_resources(), which is not aligned with current
unified reserving logic in reserve_crashkernel_generic()/
reserve_crashkernel_low().

Removing the arch specific code within #ifdef CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE
in init_resources() to fix above problem.
