The HLCDC IP provides a way to discard a specific area on the primary
plane (in case at least one of the overlay is activated and alpha
blending is disabled).
Doing this will reduce the amount of data to transfer from the main
memory to the Display Controller, and thus alleviate the load on the
memory bus (since this link is quite limited on such hardware,
this kind of optimization is really important).

The atmel-hlcdc driver selects DRM_GEM_CMA_HELPER which makes use of
symbols only available when HAVE_DMA_ATTRS is selected.
Add a dependency on the ARM architecture which select this option.

The Atmel HLCDC (HLCD Controller) IP available on some Atmel SoCs (i.e.
at91sam9n12, at91sam9x5 family or sama5d3 family) provides a display
controller device.
This display controller supports at least one primary plane and might
provide several overlays and an hardware cursor depending on the IP
version.
At the moment, this driver only implements an RGB connector to interface
with LCD panels, but support for other kind of external devices might be
added later.
