It would seem there was a reason for this change.. The person that added
this was Brent Degraaf (who is CC'd) ..

Quoting him below speaking about why dma_map_sg() isn't just used,

"Previous version of msm_sdcc.c had a cache coherency problem for
precisely this reason. The dma_map_sg is what cleans the caches for
these commands and so must be done AFTER the commands are populated. If
this entry is left until the map function is called, the
box->dst_row_addr will not be filled properly for reads."
