Yes, it is safe, at least we are able to test on Exynos based SoC. 
I have tested it with kgene/for-next kernel on Exynos3250.
Also it has been tested on Exynos5250 based Snow board with 3.17-rc5 based
kernel
by Vivek Gautam. 

Patch V2 also has been tested by "Borris Brezillon" on AT91 platform.

Can you please provide crash log which can give more information about the
crash?
