Respect the standard dt "status" property when scanning memory nodes in early_init_dt_scan_memory(), so that if the node is unavailable, no memory will be added.
The use case at hand is accelerator or device memory, which may be unusable until post-boot initialization of the memory link. Such a node can be described in the dt as any other, given its status is "disabled". Per the device tree specification, "disabled" Indicates that the device is not presently operational, but it might become operational in the future (for example, something is not plugged in, or switched off). Once such memory is made operational, it can then be hotplugged.
