Can anyone help why this W=1 triggers warning like these:
arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos3250-artik5-eval.dtb: Warning
(simple_bus_reg): Node /soc/syscon-poweroff missing or empty
reg/ranges property
arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos3250-artik5-eval.dtb: Warning
(simple_bus_reg): Node /soc/syscon-reboot missing or empty reg/ranges
property

For a node without unit address?
http://elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/v4.15-rc3/source/arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos-syscon-restart.dtsi

AFAIR, if node does not have unit-address then it should not have
reg/ranges property. Or maybe it is coming from parent's simple-bus?

Best regards,
