In the standalone setup the board's CPLD disables the PCI internal
arbiter, thus any access to the PCI bus will hang the board.

When there is no PCI arbiter on the bus the u-boot adds
status = "broken (no arbiter)" property into the PCI controller's
node, and so marks the PCI controller as unavailable.

Can you add to the commit message something about using the 'status
field in the device tree to determine if the pci controller is
available'

Something like this?

Thanks,

yes, but should we just have "status = disabled" since that is the effect?
