That doesn't make sense. I just noticed there's an error in what I 
told you to do for dma-ranges. I fixed the wrong cell as it should be:

- dma-ranges = <0x42000000 0x40 0x00 0x40 0x00 0x40 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x79000000 0x00 0x79000000 0x00 0x800000>;
+ dma-ranges = <0x42000000 0x40 0x00 0x40 0x00 0x40 0x00 0x42000000 0x00 0x79000000 0x00 0x79000000 0x00 0x800000>;
