The writable status sysfs file enabled by the 'dynamic' DT property requires CONFIG_OF_DYNAMIC to be useful, but that shouldn't require dragging in CONFIG_OF_UNITTEST as well.

The help message should be extended to explain the impact of enabling OF_DYNAMIC manually (as opposed to auto selected) - it will be to allow writes to a node's "status" property in sysfs if the node contains a true value for the "dynamic" property.
