This function can be used to initiate a scatter-gather DMA transfer where the DMA addresses and lengths are located inside arrays.
The major difference with dmaengine_prep_slave_sg() is that it supports specifying the lengths of each DMA transfer; as trying to override the length of the transfer with dmaengine_prep_slave_sg() is a very tedious process. The introduction of a new API function is also justified by the fact that scatterlists are on their way out.
