arm64: dts: amlogic: meson-axg: Disable pcie_phy node by default
    
This commit disables the pcie_phy node by default in the meson-axg base
devicetree to suppress a deferred probe warning on boards that do not use it.

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but does the S400 board fail to
enable the underlying mipi_pcie_analog_dphy required by pcie_phy?

Looking at arch/arm64/boot/dts/amlogic/meson-axg-s400.dts, the pcie_phy is
enabled:

&pcie_phy {
	status = "okay";
};

However, the analog PHY it depends on (mipi_pcie_analog_dphy) is disabled by
default in arch/arm64/boot/dts/amlogic/meson-axg.dtsi:

mipi_pcie_analog_dphy: phy {
	compatible = "amlogic,axg-mipi-pcie-analog-phy";
	#phy-cells = <0>;
	status = "disabled";
};

Since mipi_pcie_analog_dphy is never set to "okay" in the s400 board file,
won't pcie_phy continue to indefinitely defer its probe waiting for the
analog PHY, leaving PCIe broken on the S400 board?
