The real bug is in the routine davinci_i2s_startup.

The line

	cpu_dai->dma_data = dev->dma_params[substream->stream];


This works, as long as both streams aren't open.

playback stream
davinci_i2s_startup: P0 dma_params=c03a7680
davinci_pcm_dma_request: P0 dma_data=c03a7680
^^ saves pointer

capture stream
davinci_i2s_startup: C1 dma_params=c03a769c
^^ changes cpu_dai pointer
davinci_pcm_dma_request: C1 dma_data=c03a769c
^^ saves pointer
davinci_i2s_hw_params: data_type=2 C1 dma_params=c03a769c
^^ capture data_type=2

davinci_pcm_enqueue_dma: data_type=2 C1 c03a769c
davinci_pcm_enqueue_dma: data_type=2 C1 c03a769c

playback stream
davinci_i2s_hw_params: data_type=2 P0 dma_params=c03a769c
^^ playback dma_params is WRONG should be c03a7680

davinci_pcm_enqueue_dma: data_type=0 P0 c03a7680
^^ This uses the save dma_params value, hence data_type is still 0

Division by zero in kernel.


It seems like a lot of drivers may have this bug.
