[PATCH] staging: android: ion: Initialize dma_address of new sg list

[Liam Mark]

Fix the dup_sg_table function to initialize the dma_address of the new
sg list entries instead of the source dma_address entries.

How did you find this bug?  What are the user visible effects of this
bug?  I'm probably going to ask you to send a v2 patch with a new
changelog depending on the answers to these questions.

I noticed the bug when reading through the code, I haven’t seen any 
visible effects of this bug.

introduce any issues with the current code base.

Given the way we duplicate the sg_list this should be harmless but you
are right it's cleaner if we initialize the new list. You can add my
Ack when you update with a new change log clarifying this.

Thanks,
Laura

So this should be sent to the stable trees as well, right?

Please add that when you resend...

My understanding was that I should only send this to the stable branch if 
it fixes a real bug.

Both myself and Laura can't see any actual problems that result from this 
issue, the change is more to help future proof the code.

My commit message wasn't clear about this and could have mislead people 
into thinking there was a bug.
I will update the commit message to make it clear that this issue doesn't 
currently result in any problem.

Do you still want me to send it to the stable trees?

Thanks,
Liam

If it's not a bugfix, no need to.  But please clean up your changelog
text as it implies that it is a bugfix...
