[PATCH v4 6/6] ramoops: Add max_reason optional field to ramoops DT node

[Kees Cook]

From: Pavel Tatashin <pasha.tatashin at soleen.com>

Currently, it is possible to dump kmsges for panic, or oops.
With max_reason it is possible to dump messages for other
kmesg_dump events, for example reboot, halt, shutdown, kexec.
