ARM: imx_v6_v7_defconfig: Remove firmware loader helper
Testing on a imx6dl board with a QCA9377 SDIO Wifi chip shows that the QCA9377 firmware takes more than three minutes to start getting loaded, which is a very inconvenient behavior. CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER and CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK were selected by commit 30fdd51 ("ARM: imx_v6_v7_defconfig: add CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER") By removing the CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER and CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK options the QCA9377 firmware is loaded around 10 seconds after boot, which is the expected behavior. The motivation for commit 30fdd51 ("ARM: imx_v6_v7_defconfig: add CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER") was related to loading the SDMA firmware,and at the time of that commit, the SDMA driver was loaded as built-in. Now that the SDMA driver is selected as a kernel module, its firmware can be successfully loaded as well without the need of CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER and CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK. Remove the selection of these two options. Also, successfully tested the loading of the VPU firmware without these options.
