This patch does not apply to the code actually in the tree,
for example:

>  	ether->tdesc = (struct tran_pdesc *)
> -			dma_alloc_coherent(NULL, sizeof(struct tran_pdesc),
> -				(dma_addr_t *)&ether->tdesc_phys, GFP_KERNEL);
> +		dma_alloc_coherent(&pdev->dev, sizeof(struct tran_pdesc),
> +					&ether->tdesc_phys, GFP_KERNEL);
> +

in the tree there is a space between '(dma_addr_t *)' and
'&ether->tdesc_phys', but the code you are patching against
does not have that space.

Please do two things:

1) Generate your patch properly against the code actually in
   the tree.

2) Create a coherent, verbose, commit message and proper subject
   line which describes one-by-one the bug fixes you are making
   to the driver.

Thanks.
