Thanks for an update, my comments below.

This should be a separate patch.

So, then perhaps we may convert it to another flag let's say
DW_DMA_IS_LLP_SUPPORTED.

But this is other story independent of the subject.

It's simple as
if (!chip->pdata || chip->pdata->only_quirks_used)

Would we leave the first part in the place it is now and add new piece
after?

...like

/* Apply platform defined quirks */
if (chip->data && chip->data->only_quirks_used) {
 ...
}

As I mentioned above, please do a separate patch for this.

Perhaps you might rename the function to something like

dw_dma_parse_properties(dev);

Can you somehow be more clear that all listed quirks will be copied from
platform data.

Perhaps add if at the end of quirk list and name just

...here

bool use_quirks;
