This introduced a bug in the case when there is no crashkernel= option, or it is incorrect. We would fall through and calculate the crash_size based on the existing values in crashk_res. If both start and end are 0, the default, we calculate the crash_size as 1 byte - which is wrong. Rework the logic so that we use crashk_res, regardless of whether it's set by the command line or via the device tree (see prom.c). Then check if we have an empty range (end == start), and if so make sure to set both end and start to zero (this is checked in machine_kexec_64.c). Then we calculate the crash_size once we know we have a non-zero range. Finally we always want to warn the user if they specify a base != 32MB, so remove the special case for that in the command line parsing case.
