Subject: [PATCH] ARM: dts: at91: sama5d4_xplained: Mark optional AT25DF321A as disabled

sama5d4_xplained has an optional on-board serial DataFlash (AT25DF321A),
which does not come populated on board by default. Mark it as disabled
to avoid the following probe error:
spi-nor spi0.0: unrecognized JEDEC id bytes: 00 00 00 00 00 00

What about keeping SPI enabled and just having the status of m25p80 as
disabled: honestly, I don't know if it works and if it's desirable, but
might be closer to reality.

Tell me what you think.

Regards,
Nicolas

I think it will work, because child status is checked with __of_device_is_available,
and the child will be skipped when marked as disabled.

But I feel that spi0 was enabled just because at25df321a was assumed to be populated.
Wouldn't it be strange to have spi0 marked as okay, but the only child as disabled?
How about removing spi0 node entirely from sama5d4_xplained dts?

Cheers,
