I think this patch has changed since I last acked it. Further review below.

I don't think "+=" is correct here. This is the first use of the
disabled_drivers variable. [Sorry, correction, I see you've added a new
definition of it in the top-level meson.build. I think it's better to move
that to this file]
Also, would it not be better to have the cross-file option the same as that
used in the parameter option? Right now you have the cross-file option as
"disabled_drivers" vs cmdline option "disable_drivers" and the types being
list and string respectively too. Why not have the cross-file option be a
string called "disable_drivers" too? It would save some joining an
array/string conversion below and simplify things.

Do we need the string at the end here? I would think that join never adds a
trailing comma? As stated above if these were both strings it might make
things shorter and easier.

Don't think we need the "if/else" here. The existing code works fine with
taking an empty array.

For use in cross-files this makes sense, but I'm not sure it's the correct
approach for when a cross-file specifies enable and the user specifies
disable on the cmdline. In that case, the enable list should just have the
disabled values removed from it. Therefore, I suggest having this check
only in the cross-build section.

These variables don't need to be declared here. They are only used in
drivers/meson.build and nowhere else.
