[PATCH 0/2 v2] drm/arcpgu: Get use of dedicated memory area for frame buffer

This mini-series allows to allocate frame buffer memory in desired
location. Allocation of a frame buffer memory in a special memory region
allows bypassing of so-called IO Coherency aperture which is typically set
as a range 0x8z-0xAz.

I.e. all data traffic to PGU bypasses IO Coherency block
and saves its bandwidth for other peripherals.

Changes v1 -> v2:
 * Reserved memory size bumped from 16Mb to 32Mb.

 * Reserved area in AXS103 boards moved to the very end of available DDR.
