From: Fugang Duan <fugang.duan@xxxxxxx> commit f76707831829530ffdd3888bebc108aecefccaa0 upstream. There has oops as below happen on i.MX8MP EVK platform that has 6G bytes DDR memory. when (xmit->tail < xmit->head) && (xmit->head == 0), it setups one sg entry with sg->length is zero: sg_set_buf(sgl + 1, xmit->buf, xmit->head); if xmit->buf is allocated from >4G address space, and SDMA only support <4G address space, then dma_map_sg() will call swiotlb_map() to do bounce buffer copying and mapping. But swiotlb_map() don't allow sg entry's length is zero, otherwise report BUG_ON(). So the patch is to correct the tx DMA scatter list. Oops: [ 287.675715] kernel BUG at kernel/dma/swiotlb.c:497!
