Thanks, Zhen Lei.

I paste the whole parse_crashkernel() as you suggested at bottom. Please
check if it's what you want. To me, both is fine to me. I have two minor
concerns to your suggested way.

1)
I took the "if (!high) return" way because except of x86/arm64, all
other architectures will call parse_crashkerne() and check
if *crash_size ==0. Please try 'git grep "parse_crashkernel(" arch'
and check those call sites. With that, we will have duplicated checking.

        ret = __parse_crashkernel(cmdline, system_ram, crash_size,
                                crash_base, NULL);
        if (!high)
                return ret;
2)
I actually like below branch and the code comment. It can give people
hint about what's going on in that case. Discarding it is a little pity.

        } else if (ret || !*crash_size) {
                /* The specified value is invalid */
                return -1;
        }

int __init parse_crashkernel(...)
{
	int ret;

	/* crashkernel=X[@offset] */
	ret = __parse_crashkernel(cmdline, system_ram, crash_size,
				crash_base, NULL);
#ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_GENERIC_CRASHKERNEL_RESERVATION
	if (high && ret == -ENOENT) {
		ret = __parse_crashkernel(cmdline, 0, crash_size,
				crash_base, suffix_tbl[SUFFIX_HIGH]);
		if (ret || !*crash_size)
			return -EINVAL;

		/*
		 * crashkernel=Y,low can be specified or not, but invalid value
		 * is not allowed.
		 */
		ret = __parse_crashkernel(cmdline, 0, low_size,
				crash_base, suffix_tbl[SUFFIX_LOW]);
		if (ret == -ENOENT) {
			*low_size = DEFAULT_CRASH_KERNEL_LOW_SIZE;
			ret = 0;
		} else if (ret) {
			return ret;
		}

		*high = true;
	}
#endif

	if (!*crash_size)
		ret = -EINVAL;

	return ret;
}
