DBDMA descriptors need to be located at 32-byte aligned addresses;
however kmalloc in conjunction with the SLAB allocator and
CONFIG_DEBUG_SLUB enabled doesn't deliver any. The dbdma code works
around that by allocating a larger area and realigning the start
address within it.
When freeing a channel however this adjustment is not taken into
account which results in an oops:
Kernel bug detected[#1]:

Fix this by recording the address delivered by kmalloc() and using
it as parameter to kfree().
This fix is only necessary with the SLAB allocator and CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB
enabled; non-debug SLAB, SLUB do return nicely aligned addresses,
debug-enabled SLUB currently panics early in the boot process.
