I guess that I misunderstood why unmap_tx_frag() checks a dma address.
The checking is necessary to avoid calling pci_unamp_* API for dummy
hdr wrbs?

Anyway, if wrb->frag_len doesn't need to be reset here, the following
patch is ok?

Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] benet: fix the misusage of zero dma address

benet driver wrongly assumes that zero is an invalid dma address
(calls dma_unmap_page for only non zero dma addresses). Zero is a
valid dma address on some architectures. The dma length can be used
here.
