SubjectRe: [2.6.0-test-7] natsemi oops

Correction: I get the oops also when natsemi is compiled as a module.
It is triggered not when the module is loaded, but when it is used
the first time. Oops (some fragments below) followed by a total freeze;
nothing gets logged.

Is this a known problem?

Is there a workaround?

Cheers,
David
