+static struct ramoops_platform_data goni_ramoops_data = {
+       .mem_size               = SZ_16K,
+       .mem_address            = 0xED000000,   /* SRAM */
+};
+
+static struct platform_device goni_ramoops = {
+       .name = "ramoops",
+       .dev = {
+               .platform_data = &goni_ramoops_data,
+       },
+};

and register the goni_rammoops. then you can find a rammops.
