LMZ12003: Enable driver mechanism

Part Number: LMZ12003

Tool/software:

Hello, 

In one of our projects, we are planning to use the LMZ12003. I have a question regarding the enable mechanism of the IC. The LMZ12003 datasheet mentions that the maximum recommended voltage for the EN pin is 6.5 V, but it also states that the EN pin is internally pulled up to VIN and can be left floating for always-on operation (as shown in the image below). Since the IC’s input voltage range is 4.5 V to 20 V, is it acceptable to leave the EN pin open?
