Oops, I just checked wrong Kconfig under drivers/firmware/arm_scmi/
vendors/imx

Build this for ARM32 i.MX is ok, I just think no need. So add
a ARM64 dependency.

For IMX_SCMI_MISC_DRV, I could not recall clearly, seems I forgot
to add.  But anyway, w/o ARM64 should be both fine.

I tested ARM32 build with imx_v6_v7_defconfig, no issue.

Thanks,
Peng.
