>From what I have seen in the existing DTs the preffer approach seems to be of
disabling by default the node declared in the common files and enable
it in the DT that makes use of it. My quick grep through the arch/arm/boot/dts
files shows 2638 .dtsi files using 'status = "disabled";' string vs 93 .dts
files. 'status = "okay";' is more evenly balances with 805 .dtsi files using
it vs 3256 .dts files.
If there is any guidance on how to describe this sort of situations I
would really love to read it.
