This is wrong.

First, if you can only cope with a single scatterlist entry, you need to
enforce that.  You can do that in your gem_prime_import_sg_table() method
by checking sgt->nents.

Secondly, you're mapping an already mapped scatterlist - scatterlists
are mapped by the exporter inside dma_buf_map_attachment() for your
device.

Thirdly, I hate drm_gem_prime_import() being used on ARM... it forces
drivers to do something very buggy: the DMA buffer is mapped for DMA
when the buffer is imported.  If the buffer is a write-combine or cached
buffer, writes to the buffer after the import will not become visible to
the display hardware until sometime later (when they're evicted from the
caches and/or pushed out of the bus structure.)  The DMA mapping should
be performed as close to the start of DMA as possible.  However, this is
a long-standing issue I have with dma_buf itself and is not something you
should be too concerned with in your patch.  Just bear it in mind if you
start to see corruption of imported buffers - the answer is not more
dma_map_sg() calls, but to get dma_buf fixed.
