Hrm... I'd say this is not something which has a firm convention yet.
It's going to become more of an issue once we get a macros system for
dtc, so the "440EP" macro would have all the devices, even if some are
not connected on a given board.
I'm contemplating suggesting that we adopt the "status" property from
IEEE1275 to cover this.
