Subject: [PATCH] firmware/google: drop 'select EFI' to avoid recursive dependency

The GOOGLE_SMI Kconfig symbol depends on DMI and selects EFI. This
causes problems on other archs when introducing DMI support that
depends on EFI, as it results in a recursive dependency:

arch/arm/Kconfig:1845:error: recursive dependency detected!
arch/arm/Kconfig:1845:	symbol DMI depends on EFI

Fix by changing the 'select EFI' to a 'depends on EFI'.
