We can use DT overlays to enable or disable the peripherals without recompiling the kernel source code.

If you want to enable the peripherals, you can edit the DT-overlays configuration file and add the dtbo
name to list.
There are some preparations steps DT overlays dtbo
files, you can also add custom DT overlays to enable or disable the peripherals.
Basic example:
/dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { fragment@0 { target = <&i2c3>; __overlay__ { status = "okay"; }; }; };
dtc -I dts -O dtb -o example.dtbo example.dts
