It _isn't_ correct. But the fault lies in the driver that submitted
the SG transfer in the first place, not in uhci-hcd. This is the right
thing to do.
Also, its the same as what ehci-hcd does. Oddly enough, it looks like
nobody ever added SG support to ohci-hcd.
By the way, the patch could be improved if it removed the line
pktsze = len;
This won't be needed, because the code is careful to guarantee that
this_sg_len <= len always.

I agree. Fix up the patch description as Sergei suggested, and you can
add
