Oops, my bad. Actually, I was talking about the other patch, not the one setting num_sgs = 0; I don't know if this patch is really needed, but from
what I remember the DMA API is setting up the num_sgs properly. I agree even if there is a problem initializing num_sgs, it should be fixed in DMA API.
