In general patch looks good to me, but it's really unexpected to
receive IRQs while CPSW is probing ;(

So, case you have is:
- loading the crash kernel with CPSW driver enabled
- HW is in unpredictable state (CPDMA queues can be filled with
descriptors which ca point on memory this kernel instance do
not own).

In my opinion, CPSW driver should not be the part of crash kernel by default and
if networking functionality is required then it should be loaded as module.
And to make things work right It might be required to add in probe
call 
 soft_reset("cpsw", &cpsw->regs->soft_reset);
right after
 pm_runtime_get_sync(&pdev->dev)

Could you confirm that it will fix issue without your patch, pls?
