[PATCH] ASoC: SOF: imx: Prevent stack OOB read in DSP panic dump

[Ștefan Ghețu]

Commit 58bb5081cba1 ("ASoC: SOF: Xtensa: dump ar registers to restore
call stack") added a shared Xtensa helper that iterates over a flexible
array of AR registers (`ar[]`) controlled by `plat_hdr.numaregs`.

While Intel IPC4 allocates dynamic storage for the AR block, the i.MX
IPC3 path reads the oops message into a stack-allocated struct without
backing storage for `ar[]`, while leaving `numaregs` unvalidated. This
causes a stack out-of-bounds read when printing a DSP panic.

Clear `numaregs` to 0 on i.MX since the AR block is not fetched or
supported on this platform, preventing unsafe out-of-bounds memory
accesses in the shared Xtensa helper.
