As I said, I wouldn't be surprised if they were enabled by the bootloader
as part of some reference/common routine and left hanging. Linux will
switch them off if they're never used and I'm fairly sure the users won't
mind the odd couple dozen bytes of runtime kernel memory usage (which if
we go that route probably balance out with the added couple characters for
status=disabled in the resulting DTB)
