As mentioned in a different sub-thread this cannot be built as a
module so I updated the commit message to:
imx: Fix typo
A one character difference in the name supplied to MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE
breaks compilation for SOC_IMX8M after built-in modules can generate
match-id based module aliases, so fix the typo.
This was not caught earlier because SOC_IMX8M can not be built as a
module and MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE is a no-op for built-in modules.
