imx8qm-ss-audio.dtsi are not supposed to be included directly. imx8qm.dtsi
is supposed to be included by other board dts file.

in imx8qm.dtsi

 	/* sorted in register address */
+	#include "imx8-ss-audio.dtsi"
 	#include "imx8-ss-vpu.dtsi"
 	#include "imx8-ss-img.dtsi"
 	#include "imx8-ss-dma.dtsi"
@@ -473,3 +558,4 @@ drc_crit0: trip1 {
 #include "imx8qm-ss-dma.dtsi"
 #include "imx8qm-ss-conn.dtsi"
 #include "imx8qm-ss-lsio.dtsi"
+#include "imx8qm-ss-audio.dtsi"

"imx8qm-ss-audio" will overwrite some common audio node in
"imx8-ss-audio.dtsi"

acm, and sai4/5 are defined in imx8-ss-audio.dtsi for common part for all
imx8qm\imx8qxp\imx8dxl.
