[PATCH 2/3] of: add update device node status via cmdline feature

Some boards may have a lot of pin conflicts between different devices,
only one of them can be enabled to run at one time.
Instead of changing dts manually or adding a lot dts files according to
different device availability, we provide feature to dynamically update the
device node status via command line, then those devices involved with
pin conflict can be enabled or disabled dynamically.
