I can't comment on the duplication on arm64, but to me, /chosen sounds like the natural place for both "linux,elfcorehdr" and "linux,usable-memory-range". First rule of DT is "DT describes hardware, not software policy", with /chosen describing some software configuration.
We already have "linux,usable-memory" on /memory node: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.13-rc6/source/drivers/of/fdt.c#L1011 and it makes perfect sense to be there since it overrides /memory's reg property. Why define another binding for the same thing on /chosen ?
OK, thanks! But do you need the entry on the reservation map?
I'll add the entry from kexec-tools, so that the kernel will reserve the region as part of: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.13-rc6/source/drivers/of/fdt.c#L605 _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
