This is not entirely true. According to ePAPR, chapter 2.3.4, the status property has a well defined meaning and it should be set to "disabled" when "the device is not presently operational, but it might become operational in the future (for example, something is not plugged in, or switched off)". This means that unless setup of the device is missing something (e.g. board-specific properties, like regulators or pin config) or there is a valid technical reason for disabling the device by default (e.g. it needs certain SoC pins to be properly connected to something), then such device should be "okay", because it is operational. > Also if we are going ahead with this, we would need to remove the > corresponding status statements from board files. Yes, this is true. Best regards, Tomasz

If I'm wrong, correct me. (+ dt ml) Anyway, I'm not sure how to use 'okay' and 'disabled' for status... I think, every hardware information should be defined in SoC dt file and maybe some of them could be set disabled or okay in each board dt file... Any suggestions? Thanks, Kukjin
