Maybe you should change return type to 'int' and return -EINVAL here?

I think that there is a bug here.
Assume that there are two deices on the list, one using unlimited number of
segments (value 0), the second one needs a contiguous buffer (value 1).
The result of the function is 0 = min(0, 2).

The return value 0 indicates that the unlimited number of sg segments is
accepted what is *wrong* because the correct value should be 1.

I recommend to change the semantics for unlimited number of segments
from 'value 0' to:

#define DMA_SEGMENTS_COUNT_UNLIMITED ((unsigned long)INT_MAX)

Using INT_MAX will allow using safe conversions between signed and
unsigned integers.

Instead of adding an army of new handlers you could provide a single helper:

int dma_buf_get_parameters(struct dma_buf *dmabuf,
	struct device_dma_parameters *params);

This function will fill *params with lowest common DMA requirements for
all devices on attachment list. Return value can be used to diagnose
errors like incorrectly initialized dma_buf pointer
(like no attachments on an attachment list).

Moreover, there will be no need to add a new handler every time
device_dma_parameters is extended.
