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?
