To illustrate: this is "no practical impact":

+++ dts-new/st/stm32mp157c-dhcom-picoitx.dtb

 					interrupt-controller;
 					interrupts-extended = <0x49 0x00
 					reg = <0x33>;
-					status = "okay";


But this would be a practical impact:

 					phandle = <0x39>;

+					status = "disabled";


Best regards,
Krzysztof
