while trying to build android image imx-android-15.0.0_1.2.0, I am facing the below error:

The error is occured when running the below command :
TARGET_USES_BCM_WIFI=true ./imx-make.sh -j4 2>&1 | tee build1-1.log

Hello,

The error you're encountering during the Android image build is related to Git repository ownership detection. Git has a security feature that prevents operations in repositories owned by different users, which is triggering the "dubious ownership" error.

To resolve this issue, you need to add the repository directory to Git's safe.directory configuration by running the command that was suggested in the error message:

```
git config --global --add safe.directory /workdir/vendor/nxp-opensource/imx-mkimage
```

After running this command, try building the image again using your original command:

```
TARGET_USES_BCM_WIFI=true ./imx-make.sh -j4 2>&1 | tee build1-1.log
```

This is a Git security feature rather than an issue with the NXP Android BSP itself. The error occurs because Git detects that the repository directory may be owned by a different user than the one executing the Git commands, which commonly happens in containerized or shared development environments.
