The change that went into 2.5.69 for DAC960 seems to break it here.

(http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=105209603501299&w=2)

I backed out the last two changesets in DAC960.c, and the driver runs
again. Backing out only:
 ChangeSet 1.1132 2003/05/15 09:01:05 akpm@digeo.com
  [PATCH] DAC960 typedef cleanup patch

Did not resolve the panic, however backing out:
ChangeSet 1.1042.94.9 2003/04/30 07:31:56 akpm@digeo.com
  [PATCH] DAC960 patch to entry points with a new fix

Seems to resolve the problem.

The problem was, (copied by hand, please let me know if I've omitted a
critical field.):

kernel NULL pointer deref - virt 00000019
