Those come from the code decoding the properties[1]. Unfortunately, I 
haven't come up with a prettier way to report those with the filename. I 
may just remove it because if decoding the property fails, we'll get 
schema errors later on anyways.

But I don't see any 'sata' properties in the DTS files and 'backlight' 
is a node. Are you building with '-@'? I probably need to skip 
__symbols__ nodes. The overlay side is handled because examples are 
built as overlays (to allow unresolved phandles).
