With kernel commit 607451ce0aa9b ("powerpc/fadump: register for fadump as early as possible"), 'kdumpctl start' prematurely returns with the below message:
"Kdump already running: [WARNING]"
instead of setting default initrd with dump capture capability as required for fadump. Skip status check in fadump mode to avoid this problem.
