[PATCH v2 2/2] of: property: Do not link to disabled devices

[Nicolas Saenz Julienne]

When creating a consumer/supplier relationship between two devices,
make sure the supplier node is actually active. Otherwise this will
create a link relationship that will never be fulfilled. This, in the
worst case scenario, will hang the system during boot.

Note that, in practice, the fact that a device-tree represented
consumer/supplier relationship isn't fulfilled will not prevent devices
from successfully probing.

Fixes: a3e1d1a7f5fc ("of: property: Add functional dependency link from DT bindings")

Changes since v1:
 - Move availability check into the compatible search routine and bail
   if device node disabled
