I've been working on converting some old SoCs bindings from .txt to
.yaml. My observations is that the yaml is sometimes more restrictive
than what the drivers actually imposes. So you might need to change
perfectly working .dts files to get it warning free. Or you just
accept the warnings and move on. At lot will depend on the number of
warnings and how easy it is to see real problems mixed in with
warnings you never intend to fix.
