This patch doesn't need to be reverted. Provided the xhci driver doesn't set the flag to say that arbitrary scatter gather is supported (ie usb_device_no_sg_constraint(dev->udev)) is false) the ax88179_178a driver won't request transmits that need fragmenting. There is a separate issue in that it does request receives that need fragmenting. However if the fragmented receives end up being split by a LINK TRB the device driver recovers. The ax88179 hardware doesn't recover when a tx is split.
