It is debateable weather arm-trusted-firmware-imx8mq will be useable;
the corresponding u-boot builds depend on binary blobs for DDR
training. It might be reasonable to remove the imx8mq
arm-trusted-firmware variant entirely.


With this patch series applied (and with the guix-name patch reverted),
I have been unable to build arm-trusted-firmware for rk3328, rk3399,
imx8mq, or sun50i-a64. They all fail with similar errors:

I am guessing something broke native building, and people have only been
testing cross-building? Though they still build correctly on the older
arm-trusted-firmware on master.
