ALL hardware in a chip dts should be disabled. If a mainboard needs it
enabled, then it should set the property to 1.

For example:

amd/norwich dts:

                superio {
                        /config/("superio/winbond/w83627hf");
                        com1enable = "1";
                };

It's important not to enable hardware by default.
thanks

ron
