Please try the patch at 
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linuxppc-dev/patch/07884ed033c31e074747b7eb8eaa329d15db07ec.1596641219.git.christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu/

And if you are using KAsan, also take 
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linuxppc-dev/patch/6eddca2d5611fd57312a88eae31278c87a8fc99d.1596641224.git.christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu/

Allthough I have some doubt that it will fix it, because the faulting 
instruction address is at 0xf294b000 which is within the vmalloc area. 
In the likely case the patch doesn't fix the issue, can you provide your 
.config and a dump of /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/segment_registers (You 
have to have CONFIG_PPC_PTDUMP enabled for that) and also the below part 
from boot log.

[    0.000000] Memory: 509556K/524288K available (7088K kernel code, 
592K rwdata, 1304K rodata, 356K init, 803K bss, 14732K reserved, 0K 
cma-reserved)
[    0.000000] Kernel virtual memory layout:
[    0.000000]   * 0xff7ff000..0xfffff000  : fixmap
[    0.000000]   * 0xff7fd000..0xff7ff000  : early ioremap
[    0.000000]   * 0xe1000000..0xff7fd000  : vmalloc & ioremap
