obviously because of the error below no interface is being
created/registered. You'll need to sort out this error first.
We understood what your platform is but nothing about the kernel.
As I am using a Geode GX2, I can simply recommend compiling the kernel with
all features you need incl. those drivers you need.
The way you could be sure you got what you wanted and could also debug.
It tells me only that it breaks trying to allocate memory, which means to me
it could be you have low amount of memory or there is a bug in the driver.
As I do not know what kernel it is and where you got the driver from, I can
not tell anything.
