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

This is a friendly reminder during the review process.

It seems my previous comments were not fully addressed. Maybe my
feedback got lost between the quotes, maybe you just forgot to apply it.
Please go back to the previous discussion and either implement all
requested changes or keep discussing them.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
