[PATCH v2] ARM: dts: sun8i: v3s: SRAM_C real mapping

VideoEngine (cedrus) needs assign dedicated SRAM for decoding.
SRAM_C1 is usually used for Allwinner platforms.
Allwinner V3s scale down chip has not SRAM_C1 but only small SRAM_C (44kB).

Result of additional testing:

SRAM_C is mapped in two regions 0x0000_4000 (primary location,
by Datasheet) (size is 0xb000, probably exact size is 0xb0c0
and it is mapped to 4k boundary (to 0x0000_ffff))
and to 0x01d0_4000 (traditional SRAM_C1 region from 0x01d0_0000).

Rest of 0x01d0_0000 are discontinuously filled with R/W register sets
(probably some internals registers from VE) that I thought to be SRAM too.

Programming register SRAM_CTRL_REG0 (0x01c00_0000) with value 0x7fff_ffff
switch out whole region 0x01d0_0000-0x01df_ffff and 0x0000_4000-0x0000_ffff
(dedicate access to VE).

VE/cedrus code use this SRAM region indirectly
(VE_AVC_SRAM_PORT_OFFSET/VE_AVC_SRAM_PORT_DATA...)
and it is not influenced by "real" SRAM mapping or size
so it is working even without this patch.
