Yes. If I do not use boot console, target does not crash.

Yes ftrace in general works without any issue. I have also tested on 
db820c and sdm845 where "ftrace=function" works fine. I am seeing this

I didnt see any breakage, have been using ramoops with postcore_initcall 
for sometime now.

Sounds good.
