How to access DCR registers in powerpc440gx? Got err when use macro def in Linux kernel

Now, I'm writing a DMA driver on powerpc
440gx platform(2.6.26.5), as the only way to set up DMA Controller is
to access it's dcr registers with 'mfdcr' and 'mtdcr'.

I've found some dma code in Linux kernel 2.6.26.5, so I copy the code
u wrote to my driver module directory, and include them, but when I
compile my driver, gcc complains following err messages:
--------------------------------------------------------
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:83: Error: unsupported relocation against dmanr
---------------------------------------------------------


code I copy from kernel 2.6.26.5 (arch/ppc/syslib/ppc4xx_dma.c)
--------------------------------------------
#include "dcr.h"
/* #inlcude <asm/dcr-native.h> */
ppc_dma_ch_t dma_channels[MAX_PPC4xx_DMA_CHANNELS];

int ppc4xx_get_dma_status(void)
{
      return (mfdcr(DCRN_DMASR));
}


void ppc4xx_enable_dma(unsigned int dmanr)
{
     unsigned int control;
     ppc_dma_ch_t *p_dma_ch = &dma_channels[dmanr];

     .........

     / * for other xfer modes, the addresses are already set */
     control = mfdcr(DCRN_DMACR0 + (dmanr * 0x8)); <----------------err
}
void ppc4xx_set_src_addr(int dmanr, phys_addr_t src_addr)
{
      if (dmanr >= MAX_PPC4xx_DMA_CHANNELS) {
              printk("set_src_addr: bad channel: %d\n", dmanr);
              return;
      }

#ifdef PPC4xx_DMA_64BIT
      mtdcr(DCRN_DMASAH0 + dmanr*2, (u32)(src_addr >> 32));
#else
      mtdcr(DCRN_DMASA0 + dmanr*2, (u32)src_addr);
#endif
}




--------------------------------------------------

DCR access micro I copied:
----------------------------------
#define mfdcr(rn) \
     ({      \
             unsigned long rval; \
             asm volatile("mfdcr %0,%1" : "=r"(rval) : "i"(rn)); \
             rval; \
     })
#define mtdcr(rn, val) \
     asm volatile("mtdcr %0,%1" : : "i"(rn), "r"(val))
-----------------------------------------------------

Makefile I worte
-------------------------
obj-m := dmatest.o
dmatest-objs += dma.o core.o
KBUILD_CFLAGS += -m440 -mregnames -Wa, -booke
KBUILD_ASFAGS += -m440 -mregnames -Wa, -booke
---------

KBUILD_CFLAGS += -m440 -mregnames -Wa, -booke
KBUILD_ASFAGS += -m440 -mregnames -Wa, -booke
I add these two sentences when I read these
http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2004-09/msg00161.html.

When I change it to mfdcr(DCRN_DMACR0); then everything is fine. but
from the result I got when I insmod my module driver, dcr reg is not
changed.

It seems that it's the problem with gnu assembler, my GNU assembler ver is 2.17

The attachments are the c source file I copy from linux 2.6.26.5, and
I use these dma function to directly manipulate dcr registers, but
when I  make my driver module outside kernel source tree, it complains
the error I mentioned above.

Thanks!
