I think we should add status = "disabled"; here and let boards opt in.

Hi David,
I did that initially[1][2] and it was rejected by Kevin[3] and Laurent[4].
FYI this patch has already been queued by Sekhar.

Thanks. I did not see those threads.
FYI to maintainers, having these enabled by default causes error
messages in the kernel log for other boards that are not supported by
the drivers. Since there is only one board that is supported and soon to
be 2 that are not, I would rather have this disabled by default to avoid
the error messages.

Then the driver is too noisy and should be cleaned up.

IMO, what exactly are the error messages? Sounds like the driver is
being too verbose, and calling things errors that are not really errors.

It is just one line per driver.
dev_err(dev, "no master priorities defined for this board\n");
and
dev_err(dev, "no settings defined for this board\n");
Since "ti,da850-lcdk" is the only board supported in these drivers, all
other boards will see these error messages.
Also, these modules will be loaded and taking up memory on boards that
don't use them. This not really a big deal and they can be explicitly
disabled, so maybe it was not worth mentioning.

Thats pretty bad. Sorry about that. The original justification for
keeping them enabled all the time was that they are in-SoC modules with
no external dependencies (like IO lines or voltage rails) so they can be
enabled on all boards that use DA850. While that remains true, the
configuration itself is board specific.
I think the error messages are still useful, so instead of silencing
them, I think we should go back to keeping these nodes disabled by
default and enabling only on boards which have support for it in the driver.
Thanks,
Sekhar

I don't have a strong preference for the enabled/disabled by default,
but I think the error messages are not error messages. It seems
perfectly reasonable for boards to accept the reset (or bootloader)
configuration of these registers, and not consider that an error.
