When adding devices via mfd (mfd_add_device), a check on the device-tree
status of the device was performed to gracefully handle disabled devices
without errors.

This was done with a check using of_device_is_available, that was recently
moved to the mfd_match_of_node_to_dev function (by returning -ENODEV).
However, no specific case was added to handle -ENODEV, so it was handled
like any error.

At the end of the day, this causes the mfd_add_devices process to fail as
soon as one device is marked disabled. This is quite problematic and
definitely not what we want.

Introduce a special case to handle -ENODEV gracefully and restore original
behavior.

Fixes: 466a62d7642f ("mfd: core: Make a best effort attempt to match
devices with the correct of_nodes")
