[PATCH v2] panic/reboot: allow specifying reboot_mode for panic only

From: Aaro Koskinen
Date: Fri Feb 08 2019 - 05:03:02 EST


From: Aaro Koskinen <aaro.koskinen@xxxxxxxxx>

Allow specifying reboot_mode for panic only. This is needed on systems
where ramoops is used to store panic logs, and user wants to use warm
reset to preserve those, while still having cold reset on normal reboots.

v2: Use REBOOT_UNDEFINED instead of -1

v1: https://marc.info/?t=154957416600005&r=1&w=2
