How about just combine the 2x if-else statements into 1x if-elif-else
statement, like:


if (ata_is_atapi(qc->tf.protocol)) {
memcpy(task->ata_task.atapi_packet, qc->cdb, qc->dev->cdb_len);
task->total_xfer_len = qc->nbytes;
task->num_scatter = qc->n_elem;
task->data_dir = qc->dma_dir;
} else if (qc->tf.protocol == ATA_PROT_NODATA) {
task->data_dir = DMA_NONE;
} else {
for_each_sg(qc->sg, sg, qc->n_elem, si)
xfer += sg_dma_len(sg);

task->total_xfer_len = xfer;
task->num_scatter = si;
task->data_dir = qc->dma_dir;
}

Thanks,

BTW, could we add a fixes tag?
