I just tested Arnd's config with the patch we came up with for SOF 
(attached) and it makes the unmet dependency go away and builds fine. 
the problem is really using select IMX_DSP if it can be disabled by 
something else. My proposal looks simpler but I will agree it's not 
necessarily super elegant to move the dependency on IMX_BOX into SOF, so 
no sustained objection from me on Arnd's proposal.

Daniel, this is your part of SOF, please chime in.

Thanks
