That's "firmware: imx: add dummy functions".  That'll fix the issue but
we'll still see stuff in -next unless the firmware tree gets merged
before ASoC.

Please include human readable descriptions of things like commits and
issues being discussed in e-mail in your mails, this makes them much
easier for humans to read especially when they have no internet access.
I do frequently catch up on my mail on flights or while otherwise
travelling so this is even more pressing for me than just being about
making things a bit easier to read.

depends on says "this configuration can't be enabled without X already
being enabled".  select says "force X on" but ignores any dependencies
that X itself has so the thing doing the selecting has to figure those
out.  select is mainly for enabling library type things that users
shouldn't have to deal with directly either because they are libraries
or because they're just not independently useful somehow.
