Ah, so you've not done any SPL DM migration.

So there's two paths here. Path 1, the config header snippet that got
things rolling here does need to be removed as "no DM SPI in SPL" means
CONFIG_SPL_DM_SPI=n and not "CONFIG_DM_SPI=n if CONFIG_SPL_BUILD". We
are not now, and are not at the point where we can say we will be at
some future point, saying everyone must use DM in SPL. You may want to
examine the .config you get today from running dh_imx6_defconfig and
seeing what can/should be disabled, if anything, that's an unexpected
enabled option. Path 2, look at something like mx6cuboxi and convert to
CONFIG_SPL_DM=y
