[PATCH 1/1] arm: mm: Fix comments in sg_sync functions

The comment on the usage of arm_dma_sync_sg_for_cpu(),
arm_dma_sync_sg_for_device(), arm_iommu_sync_sg_for_cpu() and
arm_iommu_sync_sg_for_device() functions wrongly noted that the "nelems"
parameter is the number of sglist entries returned by dma_map_sg(), while
this must be the number of entiries passed to dma_map_sg() instead.

Hi folks,
This related patch was applied to Jonathan Corbet's tree:

The comments were indeed wrong. This may have contributed to a related
videobuf2 bug:
