Look at drivers/dma/imx-sdma.c:

Can you image why this firmware has a version field? Right, it's because
it encodes the layout of struct sdma_script_start_addrs.
As the comment clearly states you have to *increase this field* when you
add scripts.
Obviously you missed that, as the firmware on lkml posted recently
shows:

new script addresses introduced

And no, this is not a bug. It's your firmware header that is buggy.
What you need is:
#define SDMA_SCRIPT_ADDRS_ARRAY_SIZE_V2 37
You (you as a company, not you as a person) knew that it was me who
created this firmware format. So it was absolutely unnecessary to create
an incompatible firmware instead of dropping me a short note.
Please add a version check to the driver as necessary and provide a proper
firmware.
