Let's see what problem it will have.  Saying GPCv2 block is used on
imx8, we will have something like below.

obj-$(CONFIG_IMX_GPCV2) += suspend-imx7.o pm-imx7.o suspend-imx8.o pm-imx8.o

If people want to build a kernel with imx8 support only, suspend-imx7.o
and pm-imx7.o will also be built in there, which is undesirable.

The files are named with "-imx7".  It's a clear sign that the build of
the files should be controlled by something like related to "imx7".
Ideally, it should be CONFIG_SOC_IMX7.  Since imx7d is the only
supported imx7 soc and there is no CONFIG_SOC_IMX7 available so far,
it falls on CONFIG_SOC_IMX7D.

Get rid of it.
