This log is weird.  The sata_dwc_probe() function prints several things
(one using dev_notice()), for instance this:

	/* Read the ID and Version Registers */
	idr = in_le32(&hsdev->sata_dwc_regs->idr);
	versionr = in_le32(&hsdev->sata_dwc_regs->versionr);
	dev_notice(&ofdev->dev, "id %d, controller version %c.%c%c\n",
		   idr, ver[0], ver[1], ver[2]);

The dw_dma_probe() function also prints a line:

	dev_info(chip->dev, "DesignWare DMA Controller, %d channels\n",
		 pdata->nr_channels);

These messages are nowhere to be seen in your log, nor are numerous
others that really must appear before before sata_dwc_qc_prep_by_tag()
can be called.

I'd like to note that the driver works on my Sigma Designs based system
using a different DMA controller, so it's not completely broken.  The
DMA driver could still be faulty, but that still doesn't explain the
missing kernel messages.
