Respect the standard dt "status" property when scanning memory nodes in early_init_dt_scan_memory(), so that if the property is present and not "okay", no memory will be added. The use case at hand is accelerator or device memory, which may be unusable until post-boot initialization of the memory link. Such a node can be described in the dt as any other, given its status is "disabled". Per the device tree specification, "disabled" Indicates that the device is not presently operational, but it might become operational in the future (for example, something is not plugged in, or switched off). Once such memory is made operational, it can then be hotplugged.

Move this into it's own function to mirror the unflattened version (of_device_is_available). Also, make sure the logic is the same. IIRC, "ok" is also allowed.

There's no point in checking this in the loop. status applies to the whole node. Just return up above.
