I guess I mean a way to run disabling code if a device doesn't appear in
the mainboard dts at all. E.g, there is a
northbridge/amd/geodelx/graphics.dts and if the mainboard dts doesn't
source it or it's disabled, a disabling function would be ran. This is
just something that optionally wired built-in PCI devices might be
interested in, not the typical case of PCI slots.
I can imagine it would get tricky to implement and quite likely it's
just a bad idea.
