We have this problem with IDE flags on the AMD 8111 chipset too. I'm not sure what the best way to do it is. So far we've just been forced to include the (possibly disabled) device in the dts.
That was a consequence of the decision we made on this list, just ref. the sb600 discussion, that the code to be compiled is listed in the Makefile for the part (e.g. southbridge), not the mainboard.
I don't see a huge problem with putting disabled devices in the mainboard dts. Yes, we see it all the time as we create the mainboard dts, but the person who actually builds ROMs won't be paying that much attention to the mainboard dts.
