Merge tag 'pstore-v4.8-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux

Pull pstore fixes from Kees Cook:
 "Fixes for pstore ramoops driver to catch bad kfree() and to use better
  DT bindings"

* tag 'pstore-v4.8-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux:
  ramoops: use persistent_ram_free() instead of kfree() for freeing prz
  ramoops: use DT reserved-memory bindings

2. Setting the parameters
Setting the ramoops parameters can be done in 3 different manners:
1. Use the module parameters (which have the names of the variables described
as before).
For quick debugging, you can also reserve parts of memory during boot
and then use the reserved memory for ramoops. For example, assuming a machine
with > 128 MB of memory, the following kernel command line will tell the
kernel to use only the first 128 MB of memory, and place ECC-protected ramoops

C. Use a platform device and set the platform data. The parameters can then
be set through that platform data. An example of doing that is:
