This would appear to be reporting a bug in b44's DMA API usage.  See
the newly-added documentation in Documentation/DMA-API.txt, starting
with

	Part III - Debug drivers use of the DMA-API

The line numbers have changed, but it is:

		err_printk(ref->dev, NULL, "DMA-API: device driver tries "
			   "to free DMA memory it has not allocated "
			   "[device address=0x%016llx] [size=%llu bytes]\n",
			   ref->dev_addr, ref->size);
