How specifically does sg depend on these signals?

What about chips other than t4240?

Where is the binding for this property?

The device tree update should be a separate patch from the driver, as
they would likely be merged via different trees.

This indentation is not very readable (continuation line aligned with
if-body).

How about:

	if (of_property_read_bool(op->dev.of_node,
				  "fsl,external-dma-control-signals")) {
		dma_cap_set(...);
		...
	} else {
		dma_cap_clear(...);
	}

Shortening the property name would also help (e.g. "fsl,dma-ext-ctrl").

I assume nothing bad will happen (other than performance loss) if the
updated driver is used with an existing device tree, and thus none of the
channels get DMA_SG?

Is there any need to explicitly clear the capablitity in the else path? 
Wouldn't it be clear by default?
