Devices *can* be powered off but is there any reason that a system couldn't be designed with them always powered? Also given that we don't actually have any DT support the stubs for it are at best misleading, it's not going to be hard for someone to add them later.

• mutex_lock(&bus->bus_lock);
• if (!list_empty(&bus->slaves))

• list_del(&slave->node);
  

Shouldn't that be a while? Or at least warn if there's anything extra there. The code just looks very wrong as is.
