I think this looks OK to me, but I don't have a setup to test it easily.
I've added Hari to Cc who might be able to.
But I'll give you an ack in the hope that it works :)
Actually, I did some digging in the git log and the traversal was added
there on purpose by the commit b71a693d3db3 ("powerpc/fadump: exclude

I was about to comment on the same :)
memblock_reserve() was being used until we ran into the issue talked
about in the above commit...

Yeah, it is still required..
simply replace for_each_memblock() with for_each_mem_range() in v2.
Sounds right.

Actually, I did some digging in the git log and the traversal was added

Presuming this is still reqruired I'm going to drop this patch and will
simply replace for_each_memblock() with for_each_mem_range() in v2.

[PATCH 06/15] powerpc: fadamp: simplify fadump_reserve_crash_area()
From: Mike Rapoport
fadump_reserve_crash_area() reserves memory from a specified base address
till the end of the RAM.
Replace iteration through the memblock.memory with a single call to
memblock_reserve() with appropriate that will take care of proper memory
reservation.
