[PATCH v3 21/22] riscv: dts: starfive: jh7100: Use physical memory ranges for DMA

JH7100 provides a physical memory region which is a noncached alias of
normal cacheable DRAM. Now that Linux can apply PMAs by selecting
between aliases of a physical memory region, any page of DRAM can be
marked as noncached for use with DMA, and the preallocated DMA pool is
no longer needed. This allows portable kernels to boot on JH7100 boards.

Changes in v3:
 - Fix the entry number of the paired region in the DT
 - Keep the ERRATA_STARFIVE_JH7100 option but update its description

Changes in v2:
 - Move the JH7100 DT changes from jh7100-common.dtsi to jh7100.dtsi
 - Keep RISCV_DMA_NONCOHERENT and RISCV_NONSTANDARD_CACHE_OPS selected
