Hi,
I have found a bug in arm_iommu_map_sg(). 

> +int arm_iommu_map_sg(struct device *dev, struct scatterlist *sg, int nents,
> +		     enum dma_data_direction dir, struct dma_attrs *attrs) {
> +	struct scatterlist *s = sg, *dma = sg, *start = sg;
> +	int i, count = 0;
> +	unsigned int offset = s->offset;
> +	unsigned int size = s->offset + s->length;
> +	unsigned int max = dma_get_max_seg_size(dev);
> +
> +	for (i = 1; i < nents; i++) {
> +		s->dma_address = ARM_DMA_ERROR;
> +		s->dma_length = 0;
> +
> +		s = sg_next(s);

With above code, the last sg element's dma_length is not getting set to zero.
This causing additional incorrect  unmapping during arm_iommu_unmap_sg call and 
leading to random crashes.
The order of above three lines should be as follows.
		s = sg_next(s);

		s->dma_address = ARM_DMA_ERROR;
		s->dma_length = 0;
