There are two methods to specify the location of the elf core headers: using the "elfcorehdr=" kernel parameter, as handled by generic code in kernel/crash_dump.c, or using the "linux,elfcorehdr" property under the "/chosen" node in the Device Tree, as handled by architecture-specific code in arch/arm64/mm/init.c. Extend support for "linux,elfcorehdr" to all platforms supporting DT by adding platform-agnostic handling for handling this property to the FDT core code. This can co-exist safely with the architecture-specific handling, until the latter has been removed. This requires moving the call to of_scan_flat_dt() up, as the code scanning the "/chosen" node now needs to be aware of the values of "#address-cells" and "#size-cells".

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
