Hi,

I have managed to track down this issue. The problem was that one
bus_dma_tag_create (at line 300) was failing to create dma tag, and
was returning So I changed the flag from BUS_DMA_ALLOCNOW to
BUS_DMA_COHERENT and the driver was loading and was working.

Now, I have no idea what these two flags mean or the changed I made
are appropriate. Any way I am off to file a PR against safe.c
