Should we return an error in this case? Looks like return 0.

dma_map_sg returns the number of sg entries successfully mapped. In
this case, it should be 1.

Right, but this function returns 0 (success?) if we failed to map anything.

Yes. The return value is number of entries successfully mapped.
dma_map_sg is a macro that is replaced by dma_map_sg_attrs. Its
comment
says:

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

Yes, and so this function that calls dma_map_sg() is going to
return 0 to the caller when it didn't do what it was asked to do?

Ah, I get your point now :p. I thought you were referring to the
return value of dma_map_sg, and not write_data_dma. Will fix this.
