[PATCH 1/2][OF] Add of_device_is_disabled function

[Josh Boyer]

IEEE 1275 defined a standard "status" property to indicate the operational
status of a device.  The property has four possible values: okay, disabled,
fail, fail-xxx.  The absence of this property means the operational status
of the device is unknown or okay.

This adds a function called of_device_is_disabled that checks to see if a
node has the status property set to "disabled".  This can be quite useful
for devices that may be present but disabled due to pin sharing, etc.
