The fix you are referring too is probably commit c1ec4b450ab729e3
("soc: renesas: Make ARCH_R9A07G043 (riscv version) depend
on NONPORTABLE") in next-20231006 and later.  It is not yet upstream.

Still, it merely makes ARCH_R9A07G043 (which selects DMA_GLOBAL_POOL)
depend on ARCH_R9A07G043.
RISCV_DMA_NONCOHERENT still selects DMA_DIRECT_REMAP, so both can end
up being enabled.
