OK, I've found something. The dma setup errors are benign, caused by
the driver calling dmaengine_prep_slave_sg() even for non-dma
operations.
I suppose the following is a quick fix to avoid preparing descriptor
for non-DMA operations (not tested anyhow)

I already have a better patch sitting here.

The real error is the lock recursion that's reported
later. I wasn't seeing it since I was running a UP non-preempt kernel.
With lock debugging enabled, I get the same error. This patch should
fix it.
- spin_lock_irqsave(&ap->host->lock, flags);
hsdevp->cmd_issued[tag] = cmd_issued;
- spin_unlock_irqrestore(&ap->host->lock, flags);

This will create a second empty line, though I don't care it is so minor.
The patch leaves one blank line before the following block comment. I
think it looks better that way.


Still can't get the patch applied .
