Hi, here is a patch against linux/drivers/usb/atm/cxacru.c which :

1) Remove a useless initialisation of 'i'
2) Avoid to clear the memory allocated twice (once in 'kcalloc', once in 
'sg_init_table')
3) Remove a test that can never trigger. The function returns NULL in 
such a case, so we know that at this point 'pages[0]' != NULL
