package/linux-firmware: remove imx sdma firmware
As reported on the mailing list [1], the imx sdma firmwares for
imx[6,7,8] are provided by two packages: firmware-imx and
linux-firmware
$ sha256sum ./firmware-imx-8.10/firmware/sdma/sdma-imx6q.bin
7790c161b7e013a9dbcbffb17cc5d4cb63d952949a505647e4679f02d04c4784
./firmware-imx-8.10/firmware/sdma/sdma-imx6q.bin
$ sha256sum ./linux-firmware-20201022/imx/sdma/sdma-imx6q.bin
7790c161b7e013a9dbcbffb17cc5d4cb63d952949a505647e4679f02d04c4784
./linux-firmware-20201022/imx/sdma/sdma-imx6q.bin
firmware-imx also has firmwares for older variants as well, so this is
what we keep as the only imx sdma firmware provider.
