There is a long history on this. You should be able to look the
discussion up in lore archives. The nutshell is the dtsi files should
maintain DT standard which is "default, status if not explicitly
provided is enabled" and the board dts files will explicitly disable
OR reserve the nodes that are not pinned out / used / reserved (due to
firmware usage) etc. There is the entire string parsing, size arguments
that run around this topic, but, anyways.
