It seems a bit cleaner to use the current mechanism in that it stops the
device appearing at all and hence repeated efforts to probe, plus a
simple enable is less error prone, the way these SoCs are designed you
don't have to pick which pinmux is in use for most of the IPs.  Where
there are multiple options it does seem like a good approach though.

Tastes may differ though.
