6.4.5. barebox,status property

barebox interprets barebox,status the same as it does status, but gives the barebox-specific property precedence if both exist.

The purpose of this property is to keep the status property of the upstream DT, imported from Linux, untouched.

Using barebox,status may be necessary to temporarily workaround barebox drivers that misbehave on a given board; Disabling the driver may be undesirable if it can handle other instances of the same device on the board or if barebox is being built to support other boards at the same time, where the driver functions correctly.
