I think that 478 line changes are a bit too much for a commit, I'd
suggest to split this patch into smaller parts for easier reviews,
like one for ScatterList, another for SgTable, one for iterator
implementations, etc.

This comment has some orthographic, coherence (like "SG table",
"sg table") and grammatical, though, it's correct on its meaning.

This ([`pin_init`]) might point to nothing in `rustdoc`, though I'd
recommend to test it with `make rustdoc` and opening it in a browser
nonetheless.

This `impl` block has the same definition as the one above it. And
thus, wouldn't be worth to have the iter functions inside the same
block?

Same as `SgTable` above.

I'd rather say "Obtain a pinned reference to a scatter list from a raw
pointer.

Another approach could be `NonNull::new` with `Option::map`, though if
you don't use it, no problem.

Same as `ScatterList::as_mut`.

Please avoid boilerplate by putting those `cfgs` inside the function.
For example you can turn this...

     /// Setup the DMA address and length.
     #[cfg(CONFIG_NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH)]
     pub fn set_dma(&mut self, addr: usize, len: usize) {
         // SAFETY: By the type invariant, we know that `self.opaque` is valid.
         unsafe {
             (*self.opaque.get()).dma_address = addr as _;
             (*self.opaque.get()).dma_length = len as _;
         }
         self.dma_mark_bus_address();
     }

     /// Setup the DMA address and length.
     #[cfg(CONFIG_NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH)]
     pub fn set_dma(&mut self, addr: usize, len: usize) {
         // SAFETY: By the type invariant, we know that `self.opaque` is valid.
         unsafe {
             (*self.opaque.get()).dma_address = addr as _;
             (*self.opaque.get()).length = len as _;
         }
         self.dma_mark_bus_address();
     }

...into this...

     /// Setup the DMA address and length.
     pub fn set_dma(&mut self, addr: usize, len: usize) {
         // SAFETY: By the type invariant, we know that `self.opaque` is valid.
         #[cfg(CONFIG_NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH)]
         unsafe {
             (*self.opaque.get()).dma_address = addr as _;
             (*self.opaque.get()).dma_length = len as _;
         }
         #[cfg(not(CONFIG_NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH))]
         unsafe {
             (*self.opaque.get()).dma_address = addr as _;
             (*self.opaque.get()).length = len as _;
         }
         self.dma_mark_bus_address();
     }
