I am testing on Linus's tree, this patchset is already there. I just
reverted these patchset, or apply your patch on top of it. Both of them
works. The devlink warning message is not related to this issue because
I found it too when this patchset are reverted.

While I would suggest adding kexec@lists.infradead.org when code changes
are related to kexec/kdump since we usually watch this mailing list.
LKML contains too many mails, we may miss this kind of change, have to
debug and test again. Thanks.
