 2. Setting the parameters
 
-Setting the ramoops parameters can be done in 2 different manners:
- 1. Use the module parameters (which have the names of the variables described
- as before).
- For quick debugging, you can also reserve parts of memory during boot
- and then use the reserved memory for ramoops. For example, assuming a machine
- with > 128 MB of memory, the following kernel command line will tell the
- kernel to use only the first 128 MB of memory, and place ECC-protected ramoops
- region at 128 MB boundary:

+		#size-cells = <2>;
+		ranges;
+
+		ramoops@8f000000 {

+			record-size = <0x4000>;
+			console-size = <0x4000>;

+	};
+
+ C. Use a platform device and set the platform data. The parameters can then
  be set through that platform data. An example of doing that is:
 
 #include <linux/pstore_ram.h>
