No, the selection of DMA_GLOBAL_POOL should be removed from 
RISV_DMA_NONCOHERENT and selected directly by ARCH_R9A07G043 (along with 
any of the other implied symbols it needs). Or if as suggested this 
physical-attribute-remap wackiness is due to show up on more platforms 
as well, maybe have a common config for that which selects 
DMA_GLOBAL_POOL plus the relevant cache maintenance extensions as an 
equivalent to RISCV_DMA_NONCOHERENT, and can itself explicitly depend on 
NONPORTABLE for clarity.

Thanks,
Robin.
