It also crashes without UEFI.  Disabling CONFIG_RELOCATABLE fixes that.
This was tested on the HiFive Unmatched board.
The kernel image I tested is available from
<https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/RISCV/>.  The
same kernel with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE disabled is available from
<https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Andreas_Schwab:/riscv:/kernel/standard/>.
