I agree this doesn't look like an issue we're likely to encounter. That
said if for some reason dma_set_max_seg_size() or common PCI code is
changed and it starts failing it's good to have it handled.

This  line has also only been dma_set_max_seg_size() since commit
b0da3498c587 ("PCI: Remove pci_set_dma_max_seg_size()"). Since this
patch won't apply for anything older I would prefer to cite that as the
fixed commit.

Simply returning here would leak the resources. Just like the error
condition I marked above this would need to be goto err_resource.
