Seems my over-thinking.
There is no ARM64 dependency. No issue.
I just think there is no need to default build in this driver for i.MX
ARM32 platform, because no i.MX ARM32 platform supports SCMI.

But after a rethink, ARM64 dependency could be dropped, because
there was already a dependency ARM_SCMI_PROTOCOL(i.MX ARM32
not select this option), so we could follow same as
IMX_SCMI_MISC_DRV.

Please let me know if I need post new version for this and
Dan's comments. Anyway, no rush.

Thanks,
Peng.
