AFAICT, this is caused by DMA API merging pages together when map an sglist for DMA. While doing that, it does *not* move the SG_END flag which sg_is_last() checks.
I consider that an overlook on the DMA API, wouldn't you? Why should DMA API users care if pages were merged or not while mapping the sglist? We have for_each_sg() and sg_is_last() for a reason.

Don't bother, I'm still not convinced we should fix at the driver level when sg_is_last() should be working here, unless we should iterate over num_sgs instead of num_mapped_sgs, though I don't think that's the case since in that case we would have to chain buffers of size zero.
