I guess. We don't want to walk the packet queue if glom_skb is not
carrying data due to brcmf_sdiod_buffrw() failure.

So I would go with the patch below as brcmu_pkt_buf_free_skb() simply
ignores null pointer.

Arend

Sure. The reason behind the suggestion from Franky was to get rid of the
label inside branch and I agree with that. To address Andy's comment I
think my proposal should tackle that.

Just out of curiosity, we added the broken-sg-support thing for OMAP
platform. So what platform/mmc-host are you using. I try to keep an
overview where this workaround is needed.

Arend
