Git bisect points to following patch

commit bd8621ca1510e6e802df9855bdc35a04a3cfa932
    tpm: Add !tpm_amd_is_rng_defective() to the hwrng_unregister() call site

Reverting the commit allows a successful kexec operation.

Thanks for the report. To be sure the issue doesn't fall through the
cracks unnoticed, I'm adding it to regzbot, the Linux kernel regression
tracking bot:

#regzbot ^introduced bd8621ca1510e6e802df9855bdc35a04a3cfa932
#regzbot title tpm/ppc: crash during a kexec
#regzbot ignore-activity

This isn't a regression? This issue or a fix for it are already
discussed somewhere else? It was fixed already? You want to clarify when
the regression started to happen? Or point out I got the title or
something else totally wrong? Then just reply and tell me -- ideally
while also telling regzbot about it, as explained by the page listed in
the footer of this mail.

Developers: When fixing the issue, remember to add 'Link:' tags pointing
to the report (the parent of this mail). See page linked in footer for
details.
