I think that the culprit of your problems is that your code expects that 
buffer_size / period_size is an integer value (whole period is placed 
inside ring buffer). But if you do not instruct the high level code of 
ALSA in open() callback by calling snd_pcm_hw_constraint_integer(runtime, 
SNDRV_PCM_HW_PARAM_PERIODS) to do so - see other drivers - then period 
might be also placed across the buffer_size boundary - which appearently 
makes your current problems.

I think that bcom_submit_next_buffer() expects continuous memory (thus 
whole period), right?
