[PATCH 1/4] arm64: dts: ti: k3-am65*: Cleanup disabled nodes at SoC dtsi level

The device tree standard sets the default node behavior when status
property as enabled. There are many reasons for doing the same, number
of strings in device tree, default power management functionality etc
are few of the reasons.

In general, after a few rounds of discussions [1] there are few
options one could take when dealing with SoC dtsi and board dts

a. SoC dtsi provide nodes as a super-set default (aka enabled) state and
   to prevent messy board files, when more boards are added per SoC, we
   optimize and disable commonly un-used nodes in board-common.dtsi
b. SoC dtsi disables all hardware dependent nodes by default and board
   dts files enable nodes based on a need basis.
c. Subjectively pick and choose which nodes we will disable by default
   in SoC dtsi and over the years we can optimize things and change
   default state depending on the need.

While there are pros and cons on each of these approaches, the right
thing to do will be to stick with device tree default standards and
work within those established rules. So, we choose to go with option
(a).

Lets cleanup defaults of am654 SoC dtsi before this gets more harder
to cleanup later on and new SoCs are added.

The dtb generated is identical with the patch and it is just cleanup to
ensure we have a clean usage model
