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.
