Subject: [PATCH] pstore/ram: Rework logic for detecting ramoops

The reserved memory region for ramoops is assumed to be at a fixed
and known location when read from the devicetree. This is not desirable
in environments where it is preferred the region to be dynamically
allocated at runtime, as opposed to being fixed at compile time.

Also, Some of the platforms might be still expecting dedicated
memory region for ramoops node where the region is known
beforehand and platform_get_resource() is used in that case.

So, Add logic to detect the start and size of the ramoops memory
region by looking up reserved memory region with
of_reserved_mem_lookup() when platform_get_resource() failed.
