+Blkoops oops logger
+===================
+
+Blkoops provides a block partition for oops, excluding panics now, so they can
+be recovered after a reboot.
+
+Any space of block partition will be used for a circular buffer of oops records.
+These records have a configurable size, with a size of 0 indicating that they
+should be disabled.
+
+"partition-size" and at least one of "dmesg-size" or "pmsg-size" must be set
+non-zero, but are otherwise optional as listed below.
+
+Blkoops will take value from Kconfig if device tree do not set, but settings
+from module parameters can also overwrite them.
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible: must be "blkoops".
+
+- partition-size: size in kbytes, must be a multiple of 4.
+
+Optional properties:
+
+- partition-path: strings must begin with "/dev", tell blkoops which partition
+  it can used. If it is not set, blkoops will drop all data when reboot.
+
+- dmesg-size: maximum size in kbytes of each dump done on oops, which must be a
+  multiple of 4.
+
+- pmsg-size: maximum size in kbytes for userspace messages, which must be a
+  multiple of 4.
