Hello Neil,

In
https://github.com/hardkernel/linux/blob/odroidc2-3.14.y/arch/arm64/boot/dts/meson64_odroidc2.dts
the secos region does not exist. In linux-next I find no reference to
the secos label. Where is the consumer of the region defined?

In
https://github.com/hardkernel/linux/blob/odroidc2-3.14.y/arch/arm64/boot/dts/amlogic/gxbb_skt.dts
and other files pstore uses a different position
(reg = <0x0 0x20000000 0x0 0x100000>;).
Why are we moving this?
Should this region be marked
compatible = "ramoops"; ?
Cf. Documentation/devicetree/bindings/reserved-memory/ramoops.txt.

It would be nice if you could add a short description of each reserved
area to the commit message.
