So.. is it used to store crash data, or do you load u-boot there? Or is there some software running at a higher exception level that collects the dumps and stores it to this region? Are these regions only used for some sort of crashdump colection? If so, they could get some more specific names, e.g. uboot-crashdump or so.

In IPQ SoCs, U-boot will collect the system RAM contents upon crash for the post morterm analysis. If we don't reserve the memory region used by U-boot, obviously linux will consume it and upon next boot on crash, uboot will be loaded in the same region, which will lead to loose some of the data, sometimes we may miss out critical information. So lets reserve the region used by the U-boot. Similarly SBL copies some data into the reserved region and it will be used in the crash scenario. So reserve 1MB for SBL as well.
