I made several tests on an Armada XP based board: OpenBlock AX3: I
modify the enable-method in the decvice tree, and I confirm that without
your patch it is not taken into account whereas with this patch the
enable-method is applied form the device tree. I also didn't see any
regression with the original dtb.

So I added my:

and applied on mvebu/soc

Thanks,
