That's caused by you didn't load ram firmware as this patch set described.
Please follow below steps to load firmware manually if you don't want to
use NXP official Yocto release package:

1. Get sdma firmware from below linux-firmware and copy it to your
local rootfs /lib/firmware/imx/sdma.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/imx/sdma
2. Load firmware manually:
        echo 1 > /sys/$DEVPATH/loading
        cat $MY_FW_DIR/$FIRMWARE > /sys/$DEVPATH/data
        echo 0 > /sys/$DEVPATH/loading
Please refer to Documentation/driver-api/firmware/fallback-mechanisms.rst
and load the firmware in 60s (firmware fallback loading timeout) from kernel
boot up.

I guess that's not related with sdma building as module. If sdma build as
module, spi will fall to pio mode at spi-imx driver probe phase so that the above
warning log never to be walked. Would you please add some debug info to double
confirm?
