That's actually required to make some hardware work ("disabled" may just 
mean the clock is turned off and needs to be turned back on, which means 
you absolutely do want that device probed). The device drivers 
themselves, not the bus, should be checking this property and 
interpreting it. If this has actually broken hardware, we could add a 
temporary #ifdef __arm__ check to the simplebus tree-walker while the 
relevant drivers get fixed up.
