The text you posted doesn't contain any indication of a panic.  A panic
would cause a stack trace printed on the console.

You can find some information about capturing the kernel panic in
Documentation/oops-tracing.txt in the kernel sources.

Please use the version from git:

git-clone http://honk.sigxcpu.org/git/at76c503a.git/

The CVS version is behind, and I think it will be obsoleted once the
driver goes into the kernel.
