I've just received a report that the patch has been successfully tested to get 
rid of the oops, but it introduced another issue in that synchronize_irq() 
gets called from non-sleeptable context through terminate_all(). 

The DMA engine API states that

   * device_terminate_all
     - Aborts all the pending and ongoing transfers on the channel
     - This command should operate synchronously on the channel,
       terminating right away all the channels

I wonder how to interpret "synchronously" here, should terminate_all() wait 
for termination to be complete ? In that case it wouldn't be valid to call it 
from non-sleepable context.
