This is the wrong way around.. The SSI ports are there on all omap3 SoCs,
we do want to have the struct device created for them. It's best to have
the driver probe and then idle SSI and bail out. Marking something with
status = "disabled" should be only used if you really want to avoid kernel
touching the device at all, for example, if something is managed from
the start by a copropcessor.

Tony
