Michael's solution makes more sense, as this is a driver specific
problem whereby you have a pci_dev instance that is created and does not
honor the status property provided in Device Tree. If you were to look
for a proper solution it would likely be within the PCI core actually.

No other DSA switch has that problem because they use the
I2C/SPI/platform_device/GPIO/whatever entry points into the driver model.
