RISC-V uses platform-specific code to locate the elf core header in
memory.  However, this does not conform to the standard
"linux,elfcorehdr" DT bindings, as it relies on a reserved memory node
with the "linux,elfcorehdr" compatible value, instead of on a
"linux,elfcorehdr" property under the "/chosen" node.

The non-compliant code can just be removed, as the standard behavior is
already implemented by platform-agnostic handling in the FDT core code.

LMK if you wanted me to take this series, otherwise I'm going to assume 
it's going in via some other tree.

There will be a v5 of the series in response to the review comments.
But I think this patch can already be applied.

Thanks!

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
