That means that when a new driver is added, it will start wasting
resources on all board using that SoC unless the board maintainers
explicitly disable that driver in DTB.

I would prefer things to be the other way:
New drivers (no matter whether for chip-internal or external hardware)
should require to be explicitly enabled for those platforms on which
they are being used.
