FWIW, Just a data point.

I coverted BUG_ON in dmaengine.h to printk as shown below. With this
change I was able to format nand, create UBI partition. I have been
running UBI torture test called integck on my board that does lot of
I/O, mounting/unmounting of filesystem for close to 8 hour now without
crash. But I do see those printks. I haven't followed logic of
tx->cookie well enough to figure out what the appropriate change
should be. Note this is with commit
00292bbf769620dea923dbd906afd88955f7ea19 reverted in my tree.

Cookie 0  completed 102118268 DMA_MIN 1
Cookie 0  completed 102120401 DMA_MIN 1
Cookie 0  completed 102237726 DMA_MIN 1
