Subject: firmware/google: drop 'select EFI' to avoid recursive dependency

The GOOGLE_SMI Kconfig symbol depends on DMI and selects EFI.  This causes
problems on other archs when introducing DMI support that depends on EFI,
as it results in a recursive dependency:

arch/arm/Kconfig:1845:error: recursive dependency detected!
arch/arm/Kconfig:1845:	symbol DMI depends on EFI

Fix by changing the 'select EFI' to a 'depends on EFI'.
