Sorry for delay. I've been busy with other things.

It looks like following scenario happened:

	1. DMA interrupt is asserted

	2. Interrupt is handled by ep93xx_dma_interrupt()

	3. It schedules the ep93xx_dma_tasklet() but for some reason the
	   tasklet is not immediately run when the interrupt handler returns.

	4. Your driver calls dma_terminate_all() making the active list empty
	   and disabling the channel & interrupt.

	5. ep93xx_dma_tasklet() is run and since the list is empty, it gets
	   pointer to some garbage which then OOPses as it tries to execute
	   ->complete() which points to memory containing:

	Code: 42555300 54535953 643d4d45 65766972 (53007372)

	translated to ascii:

	\0SUBSYSTEM=drivers\0S

	probably the memory was re-used by some uevent.

I wasn't able to reproduce this but can you try if following patch helps? I'm
not sure if it is correct but at least we get more information about the
problem.
