Yes, memcpy mode allocates a couple P and B dma-coherent bounce
buffers for each channel.

Oh, I see. Thanks for the details!
How about this one (untested) ?

Also, when submitting a patch please make sure you write a commit
log. Only trivial patches can have empty commit logs.
The description you made in your last mail is perfect,
including the oops details, the backtrace and
the "With the patch" note. Doing a `git log --grep="fix.*oops"`
might give you some ideas on commit logs.
The subject of the patch should be:
"tw686x: Fix oops on buffer alloc failure"
If you `git log` on tw686x, you'll notice all the
commits use "tw686x" prefix.
When submitting fixes, it's useful to add a "Fixes" tag.
See https://static.lwn.net/kerneldoc/process/submitting-patches.html
for details.
