On cortex-M7 MCU, DMA have to use a non cache-able memory area. For 
this reason a dedicated memory pool is created for DMA.
This patch creates a DMA memory pool of 1MB of each STM32 MCU which 
embeds a cortex-M7 expect stm32f746-disco. Indeed, as stm32f746-disco 
has

Sorry, Is there a typo issue (or just wording issue) ?
 
only a 8MB SDRAM and it's tricky to reduce memory used by Kernel.
I guess that 1MB is a kind of "should be enough" estimate, probably something along with [1] would give you exact numbers...

Exactly, 1MB is  a kind "should be enough" and code is here to show that we need a dedicated memory area for DMA. But this value has
to be adapt regarding to use case needed by users. Thanks for the lkml link. It will help users to adapt DMA area and thanks for reviewing.

Usage of dma-default looks correct to me, so FWIW
