That also removes a couple of boilerplate lines from all FDT device
drivers.

That would work for me.
I wonder if it would be too noisy if we allowed ->probe() to run
on disabled devices and reported something like:
"foobar0: Matched disabled device <...>"
(without calling ->attach())
That way you would know you loaded the right driver, rather
than have to guess.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
