The device availability test is actually there for a reason. Some firmware
implementations put all the potential devices in the tables and only one
(of some) of them are available.

Could this be implemented so that if the node is a software node, then get
its parent and then see if that is available?

I guess that could be implemented in software node ops. Any opinions?
