Hi Neel,

sg_dma_address() is zero, because the memory hasn't been loaded.

You need to handle two cases there:

When r->iobase is -1 and when it is not.

I suspect you should add r->iobase to the sg_dma_address() only and only 
when it is non -1.

Also, there is a superfluous "pa = " in the beginning of the function.
