The GPU is always present in the SoC, similar to IPMMU/GIC/DMA/VSP/... 
which are also never disabled, do we want to disable the GPU by default 
and enable per-board ?

I would argue the GPU should be enabled by default, so the GPU driver 
can do a proper power management of the GPU. If firmware is missing, at 
least power it off on failed probe, if nothing else.
