There are two configs for imx8mm EVKs, one for ddr4 and one for lpddr4. 
Check your board so you get the correct one. 8MMINILPD4 = lpddr4 and 
8MMINID4 = ddr4. I have a imx8mm_lpddr4_evk in my project ad have been 
able to build hardknott without issues.

This is not needed in hardknott as imx8mm-*-evk machines are using 
mainline and linux-fslc by default.

The error you see below is because the u-boot configuration 
imx8mm_ddr4_evk is not present in u-boot-fslc. There is only imx8mm_evk 
config that is intended for lpddr4 variant. This is an error in the 
configuration in Yocto but I'm a bit unsure the way forward.

One thing you can try is to use u-boot-imx instead by adding:

     PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/bootloader = "u-boot-imx"

This will build the u-boot-imx (NXP's fork) where imx8mm_ddr4_evk config 
is present. I can not guarantee the u-boot-imx and linux-fslc works 
together but give it a try.

The I suggest that you open an issue in 
https://github.com/Freescale/meta-freescale/issues about the faulty 
configuration for imx8-ddr4-evk.

I hope this helps you forward!
/Peter
