You cannot pass hardware IRQ numbers directly to request_irq() -- it has 
no idea which IRQ controller you're referring to (even if there happens 
to be only one on your board).

You should get the IRQ from the device tree, using 
irq_of_parse_and_map() on the device node for the DMA channel (see the 
mpc8377mds device tree for an example DMA node).
