That does point to invalid DMA addresses.

I suppose this could be anywhere then. The backtrace seems to point
to re-enabling interupts in do_work_pending, so something probably
accessed DMA memory asynchronously.

Good, so I guess that means there is another bug in wl1251 DMA handling,
while everything else is fine.

Changing the type of the structure looks a bit odd, but it does seem
like a valid transformation otherwise.

I see more callers of wl1251_mem_write() or wl1251_mem_read() with
on-stack arguments in wl1251_tx_complete(), wl1251_event_wait(),
and wl1251_event_handle(). Those will need the same kmalloc()
change as your wl1251_set_partition() fix I think.

If that's not enough, try enabling CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG
to get an is_vmalloc_address() check on every DMA operation.
