Huge thanks to Roman, Thomas and Russell.
The cesa works on your image and rootfs. Now it works on my system too.

The problem caused by my mistake, I was using the following kernel parameter:
mem=1048448k
My device has 1 GiB of RAM and I tried to reserve 128 kiB of memory for ram
oops. I guess this parameter caused overlapping or inaccessible area with cesa's
addresses. Am I right?
I tried to add memmap=0x20000$0x3ffe0000 without success.

Is this normal behaviour?
If yes, what is the right way to reserve RAM without killing the cesa? Should I
reserve memory at physical start point?

Best Regards,
Jussi
