Hey Xianting, those two commits already seem to have been applied, do
you perhaps instead mean the documentation patch and the addition of
support for arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo? I recalled asking if you needed
to respin at the time, but do not see a response:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/39fdc85e-b2d5-863c-4878-4b3380d76bc4@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/
IIRC Bagas had some outstanding comments on the documentation change
too. Was I incorrect?

Thanks,
Conor.
