Yes, definitely as soon as possible! (actually I've done it.)
But before submitting a new version, I need to convince Rob (Herring)
that he would accept my old approach (v25) regarding specifying usable
memory for crash dump kernel:
   http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2016-September/459379.html

Thank you for your interests and sorry for any inconvenience.
