[U-Boot] [PATCH v2] mach-stm32: Fix MPU region size dedicated to SDRAM for STM32F4

The MPU region dedicated for SDRAM for STM32F4 SoCs family
was set to 16MB, but STM32F429 Evaluation board have 32MB of SDRAM.

When kernel starts, only first 16MB of SDRAM are configured with XN
(eXecute Never) bit disabled, whereas kernel is using 32MB.
To avoid such situation in the future, extend this MPU region to 512MB
as for STM32F7/H7.

It fixes the following user land exception on STM32F429 Evaluation
board :
