Whatever your driver is doing, should be rather independent of
enabling/disabling nodes in DTS. Generic rule is that all SoC
components, which do not need external resources from board, should be
enabled by default. Of course there are exceptions to this rule. DTS is
anyway description of hardware, so "driver compatible" is not
appropriate argument for this (or I miss the meaning behind this).
Best regards,
