Hmm, I don't think the name is fitting. "no-detect" is the desired
behaviour but a proper description is more like "bus-complete" or
something?

That aside, I am not sure we should handle this at DT level. Maybe we
should better change the GPIO driver to not populate a class if we have
a firmware node?
