[U-Boot] [PATCH v5 01/14] arm: dma_alloc_coherent: malloc() -> memalign()

From: Kuo-Jung Su <dantesu at faraday-tech.com>

Even though the MMU/D-cache is off, some DMA engines still
expect strict address alignment.

For example, the incoming Faraday FTMAC110 & FTGMAC100 ethernet
controllers expect the tx/rx descriptors should always be aligned
to 16-bytes boundary.
