The change is innocuous and has already been applied but the code
doesn't seem to make sense.

Why is dev_kfree_skb_any called multiple times with the same argument?

Is there some missing logic here? Maybe a missing ++?

Something like:

for (desc = 0; desc < LTQ_DESC_NUM; desc++)
dev_kfree_skb_any(ch->skb[ch->dma.desc++]);

Dunno, but the current code seems wrong.
