Thanks for response.
My comments are given inline below.

Agree. Implemented as separate patch in PATCH v3 series.

Implemented in PATCH v3 series. 
"dwc->nollp" was converted to "DW_DMA_IS_LLP_SUPPORTED" flag.

Agree. That looks better.

I don't treat "is_nollp" as quirks like "is_private" or "is_memcpy".
It is like general pdata field: we can easily read it from autoconfig
registers (and we don't have any problem with that) in case of
pdata/device-tree absence (as opposed to quirks like "is_private" or
"is_memcpy")

So, in PATCH v3 series "is_nollp" used as regular pdata field.
