Thanks for the taking the fix.
With this change, the device-tree is parsed appropriately..

  ---Steps to Reproduce---
   Load panic kernel or regular kernel with kexec command:

  kdump-config unload; kdump-config load

  OR

  kexec -l --append="`cat /proc/cmdline`"
  --initrd=/boot/initrd.img-`uname -r` /boot/vmlinux-`uname -r`

  Actual Result:
  DT files are not found while loading the kernel

  Expected result:
  kexec loads without any warning/error messages
   
  Userspace tool common name: kexec-tools 
   
  The userspace tool has the following bit modes: 64-bit 

  Userspace rpm: kexec-tools

  Userspace tool obtained from project website:  na

  Since v4.16 kernel, ibm,dynamic-memory-v2 Device Tree Property is supported
  in the kernel. This leaves kexec-tools on ppc64le broken without the below
  fix patches:
