Thanks for your patch!

Indeed:

 * dma_maps_sg_attrs returns 0 on error and > 0 on success.
 * It should never return a value < 0.

A quick grep shows there are 4 more offenders:

  - drivers/crypto/qce/ablkcipher.c
  - drivers/crypto/qce/sha.c
  - drivers/hsi/controllers/omap_ssi_port.c
  - drivers/mailbox/bcm-flexrm-mailbox.c
