For devices which have constraints about maximum number of segments in an sglist. For example, a device which could only deal with contiguous buffers would set max_segment_count to 1.
The initial motivation is for devices sharing buffers via dma-buf, to allow the buffer exporter to know the constraints of other devices which have attached to the buffer. The dma_mask and fields in 'struct device_dma_parameters' tell the exporter everything else that is needed, except whether the importer has constraints about maximum number of segments.
