Sounds reasonable. I rephrase the patch 3 log as below, do you think
it's OK to you?
I will also adjust patch logs on other ARCH once this one is done.
Thanks.
=============================
Subject: [PATCH v3 5/7] kexec_file, ricv: print out debugging message if
required
Then when specifying '-d' for kexec_file_load interface, loaded
locations of kernel/initrd/cmdline etc can be printed out to help debug.
Here replace pr_debug() with the newly added kexec_dprintk() in kexec_file
loading related codes.
And also replace pr_notice() with kexec_dprintk() in elf_kexec_load()
because it's make sense to always print out loaded location of purgatory
and device tree even though users don't expect the message.
And also remove kexec_image_info() because the content has been printed
out in generic code.

Sure, sounds good to me. I have changed the patch log to reflect this as
you suggested, please help check. Thanks again.
