Sure, I can do it.

Hm, interesting, not sure if this is a realistic scenario. If I
understand the code correctly, dummy is the only device that can
pick-up dump_oops parameter, and it is registered before the DT based
backend:

ramoops_init(void)
ramoops_register_dummy(); -> register dummy if mem_size is provided
platform_driver_register(&ramoops_driver); -> register DT based node.

dummy is registered only if mem_size parameter is provided. Deprecated
dump_oops if provided by the user is converted to max_reason and
discarded after that. The value of dump_oops becomes meaningless in
/sys/module/ramoops/parameters/, as it does not really carry any
information about kmsg dumps anymore. max_reason is what carries that
information.

After the dummy backend is registered, even if DT changes dump_oops,
and still fails to register, it does not matter, as the dummy will
keep operating correctly with the set max_reason.

Sure, unfortunatly I do not think we can simply remove "no-dump-oops"
from DT, and I also looked through the kernel and did not find any DTs
that use "no-dump-oops" in the kernel.

Sure, I will wait for your changes.
