I do not understand this one part, which warning are you trying to fix ?
I just ran '$ make CHECK_DTBS=1 stm32mp157a-dk1.dtb stm32mp157c-dk2.dtb' 
in latest linux-next and there was no warning related to LTDC .

I think if you retain the stm32mp151.dtsi &ltdc { port { #address-cells 
= <1>; #size-cells = <0>; }; }; part, then you wouldn't be getting any 
warnings regarding LTDC , and you wouldn't have to remove the 
unit-address from endpoint at 0 .

btw. I do use both endpoint at 0/endpoint at 1 in Avenger96 DTOs, but those 
are not submitted yet, I have to clean them up a bit more first.

I'm afraid I really don't quite understand which warning you're 
referring to. Can you please share that warning and ideally how to 
trigger it (the command-line incantation) ?
