commenting on Sashiko's reported issues:
https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260429-airoha-xmit-unmap-error-path-v2-1-32e43b7c6d25%40kernel.org

- Should the driver be updated to use skb_frag_dma_map() for mapping the SKB
  fragments, and correspondingly use dma_unmap_page() for those fragments in
  this error handling path?
  As we already pointed out here [0], we decided to skip this request and keep
  using dma_map_single() even for skb fragments.

Regards,
Lorenzo
