Have you also tried it with 5.0? To make a 5.1 driver work on 5.0
do #define virt_to_bus(x) x

Maybe you're polling the wrong bit? It should be a register or memory
bit that indicates there is at least one complete packet in the buffer,
not an interrupt bit or anything interrupt related.

Possibly the relocation?

Try it on 5.0 first. Then you won't have 5.1 issues confounding the
debugging.
