I see I referenced the wrong branch in the cover letter. Thanks for
testing and noticing this. Sorry to make you hunt for the correct
branch in that repo. ;) 

https://github.com/ohporter/linux/tree/edma-dmaengine-am33xx-v3
is indeed the correct branch for those wanting to pull this in or
grab some of the not-to-be-merged drivers I used for testing.

I missed an uninitialized pdata case in the bug fixes mentioned in
the changelog and the folks previously failing the same way didn't
hit the case I suspect you are hitting. Can you try this and let me
know how it works?

Thanks,
Matt
