Looking into the difference between iterating via available nodes I have found
nothing suspicious. Your DTSes do not have status property, so it assumes the
node is available.

I'm quite puzzled what's going on there. Because I can't see what the logical
difference the patch brought in.

P.S. In any case it's withdrawn now and shouldn't appear in the next Linux
Next. But I would really appreciate more input on this.
