Right, but if they're generating warnings, then you haven't specified
the nodes in accordance with the bindings. From here one of two things
is the case:

   1. The bindings' specifications are incomplete, and you need to
      introduce patches updating them to match how you need to use the
      hardware
   2. Your devicetree is incorrect, and the unexpected properties need
      to be removed from the listed nodes.

The only third option is "don't use the hardware how you need to" (i.e.
remove the unexpected properties despite needing them, because you
don't want to update the bindings).

Ultimately the tools are telling you something is wrong, and I need the
warnings I've identified addressed before I can apply your patch,
otherwise the hardware is not going to do what you might expect.

Great :)
