[PATCH v2 2/4] checks: Add Warning for stricter node name character checking

[Rob Herring <robh-DgEjT+Ai2ygdnm+yROfE0A@public.gmane.org>]

While '#', '?', '.', '+', '*', and '_' are considered valid characters,
their use is discouraged in recommended practices.

Testing this found a few cases of '.'. The majority of the warnings were
all from underscores.
