DMA Generic Task

["Pedro Luis D. L." <carcadiz@hotmail.com>]

Hello,
I=B4m developing an small module to use the DMA API to copy some audio data=
 in a PSC wich has attached an digital to analog converter. It is only a pr=
oof of concept before I can use this information to develop an audio driver=
 for the SPI interface.=20
I=B4m using a 2.6.20 kernel patched with the bestcomm patches from http://w=
ww.246tnt.com/mpc52xx/dev_full/ at Sylvain's page.=20
My board is also a pcm030. I had the same problems with the Ethernet so I d=
ecided to keep the old fec driver with the old bestcomm driver also just fo=
r the Ethernet stuff until I could take a look over it.
I took a look into the code for the bestcomm API for the generic tasks and =
thought that this was the way to initialize the bestcomm task:

        struct bcom_task *tx_bcom;  =20
        struct bcom_task *rx_bcom;
=09
        switch(psc_num) {
		case 1:
			initiator_tx =3D SDMA_INITIATOR_PSC1_TX;
			initiator_rx =3D SDMA_INITIATOR_PSC1_RX;
			break;
		case 2:
			initiator_tx =3D SDMA_INITIATOR_PSC2_TX;
			initiator_rx =3D SDMA_INITIATOR_PSC2_RX;
			break;
		default:
			panic("snd-SPImgt.o: invalid value for psc_num (%i)\n",psc_num);
			break;
	};

	tx_bcom =3D bcom_gen_bd_tx_init(512, MPC52xx_PA(MPC52xx_PSCx_OFFSET(psc_nu=
m))+0x80, initiator_tx, 6);   //(1)

	rx_bcom =3D bcom_gen_bd_rx_init(512, MPC52xx_PA(MPC52xx_PSCx_OFFSET(psc_nu=
m))+0x60, initiator_rx, 6, 1024);


where MPC52xx_PA(MPC52xx_PSCx_OFFSET(psc_num)) =3D 0xf0002000, wich added t=
o 0x80 or 0x60 gives TXFIFO or RXFIFO's physical address.
However, when I insert the module, it crashes at (1) Line (bcom_gen_bd_tx_i=
nit...) with this output:

How should I use the API to initialize the Bestcomm task?
