I'm still catching up with emails that came during my vacation, so I'm not 
fully up-to-date on the current state of this and how to bring in potential 
fixups on top.

I think, we also have two more (not so obvious) places in the corresponding 
response/completion code path, where we might need to introduce the proper 
iterator helper:

zfcp_fsf.c:

static int zfcp_fc_eval_gpn_ft(struct zfcp_fc_req *fc_req,
			       struct zfcp_adapter *adapter, int max_entries)
{
	struct scatterlist *sg = &fc_req->sg_rsp;
...
	/* first entry is the header */
	for (x = 1; x < max_entries && !last; x++) {
...
		if (x % (ZFCP_FC_GPN_FT_ENT_PAGE + 1))
...
		else
			acc = sg_virt(++sg);
                                       ^^^^

zfcp_dbf.c:

static u16 zfcp_dbf_san_res_cap_len_if_gpn_ft(char *tag,
					      struct zfcp_fsf_req *fsf,
					      u16 len)
{
	struct scatterlist *resp_entry = ct_els->resp;
...
	/* the basic CT_IU preamble is the same size as one entry in the GPN_FT
	 * response, allowing us to skip special handling for it - just skip it
	 */
	for (x = 1; x < max_entries && !last; x++) {
		if (x % (ZFCP_FC_GPN_FT_ENT_PAGE + 1))
...
		else
			acc = sg_virt(++resp_entry);
                                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^


What do you think?
