Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/fadump: Update comment about offset where fadump is
reserved
References: bsc#1051137
Patch-mainline: v4.13-rc1
Git-commit: e7467dc6947d7074417aa4cda44b851010fd0795
With commit f6e6bedb7731 ("powerpc/fadump: Reserve memory at an offset
closer to bottom of RAM"), memory for fadump is no longer reserved at
the top of RAM. But there are still a few places which say so. Change
them appropriately.
