In the standalone setup the board's CPLD disables the PCI internal
arbiter, thus any access to the PCI bus will hang the board.

When there is no PCI arbiter on the bus the u-boot adds
status = "broken (no arbiter)" property into the PCI controller's
node, and so marks the PCI controller as unavailable.

Something like this?

yes, but should we just have "status = disabled" since that is the  
effect?

I don't know, should we? For the unavailable/disabled case the status
can be anything but not 'ok' or 'okay' (the only status values for the
available devices). So if we can encode the reason, why not do this?

that works for me, just add the fact to the commit msg that the "valid  
status's are 'ok' and 'okay' and everything else is treated as "not  
available or disabled"
