Issue looks like race condition between interrupt handler fsl_edma_tx_handler() (called as result of fsl_edma_xfer_desc()) and terminating the transfer with fsl_edma_terminate_all().
The fsl_edma_tx_handler() handles interrupt for a transfer with already freed edesc and idle==true.

Sure. I'll make another commit as it should be backported to different kernel.
