It was discussed at least twice this year (in regard to some new IIO drivers) and Rob told that iterating over disabled (not available) nodes in OF kinda legacy/design mistake. That's why device_for_each_child_node() goes only over available nodes only. So, why do you need to iterate over disabled ones? -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko
