Some S5PC110(MCP D-type) has only available 80MiB in a bank.
So the space accounts for 432MiB in a DMC0, but larger memory(256MiB +
128MiB) exists in a DMC1.

As you know, the size of a section should be a power of 2 and a physical
address space of a section should be contiguous.
If a section size is greater than 16MiB, a section have a hole. So the
SECTION_SIZE_BITS should be 16MiB.

Following is memory map of S5PV210/S5PC110.
