mips32r2 kexec load crashes kernel

mips32r2 kexec load crashes kernel

[Strontium]

When i execute a kexec -l (load, not execute) on my MT7621 (mips32r2)
target running either the 5.4 or 5.10 kernel, i am getting a reported
kernel bug that causes the kernel to panic and reboot.  The error is the
same on either 5.4 or 5.10.  My target runs from flash, and the kernel .elf i
am trying to kexec is the exact same kernel booted from flash.

Is this a problem with the kexec utility from kexec-tools or is it a
kernel bug, as it appears to be?  Or have i done something wrong?
