What happen if a device is listed as a static device in the config file but does not actually exist in the physical system ?
The device won't go away. But it can legitimately show up as a disabled device in the device tree.
I'm not certain when you would want to report a device statically that may or may not be there.
Regardless showing up as disabled is effectively gone so it should not be a real limitation.
