Well you need to find out which bit is causing the driver to crash.  One 
way to narrow it down is to #ifdef out bits of code until it no longer 
crashes.  Another way (which can be combined with the first) is to 
intersperse the code with a few printk calls so you can see how far it 
gets before crashing.
