There are a few that are multiple element SG list, but it's a locally
allocated array of SGs, and filled with data. All easily replaced with
just calls to ..._update() instead of sg helpers. For example
net/wireless/lib80211_crypt_tkip.c:

-       sg_init_table(sg, 2);
-       sg_set_buf(&sg[0], hdr, 16);
-       sg_set_buf(&sg[1], data, data_len);
...
-       ahash_request_set_tfm(req, tfm_michael);
-       ahash_request_set_callback(req, 0, NULL, NULL);
-       ahash_request_set_crypt(req, sg, mic, data_len + 16);
-       err = crypto_ahash_digest(req);
-       ahash_request_zero(req);
+       err = crypto_shash_init(desc);
+       if (err)
+               goto out;
+       err = crypto_shash_update(desc, hdr, 16);
+       if (err)
+               goto out;
+       err = crypto_shash_update(desc, data, data_len);
+       if (err)
+               goto out;
+       err = crypto_shash_final(desc, mic);
+
+out:
+       shash_desc_zero(desc);
        return err;
