[PATCH v2 0/4] Enable DMA on STM32 MCU based on cortex-M7

This series enable DMA on several STM32 MCU based on cortex-M7.
To make it possible, a dedicated dma pool memory area has to be
created. This patchset activate also ARM_MPU flag which will configure 
MPU (Memory Protection Unit) according to devicetree information (mem
and dma-pool). Note that on cortex-M7 DMA has to use a NO cache-able 
memory region.


v2:
-select ARM_MPU in mach-stm32 Kconfig instead of add it in stm32 defconfig
-Remove XIP configuration from stm32_defconfig: ARM_MPU flag imposes XIP image
to be aligned on 1MB. It is currently not the case. I had choice to either
modify current XIP start address to be aligned on 1MB or to remove global
configuration. I make choice to remove XIP configuration. Indeed, SD card
support has been recently added for most of STM32 MCU boards (except for
stm32f429-disco). As kernel is growing up for stm32 it will be more and more
difficult to flash it in embeded flash (max size: 2MB).
-fix typo in commit message
