Indeed, so it must stay like this.

Maybe they shouldn't be in the bindings, either? These are only for
nodes which have childre. The fan-controller does not have them.

dtbs_check without W=1.
dtbs with W=1.
These are different tools.

This is expected because dt-schema does not accept pin groups in one
array (<..., ....>). Compare your warnings with some other recent imx8mm
designs. If you introduce new, these have to be fixed.

If you really intend to upstream these future designs, then it's fine.
Have in mind that if you do not upstream them, anyone can simplify later
the hierarchy by renaming imx8mm-venice-gw71xx.dtsi into
imx8mm-venice-gw71xx.dts.

Sure, this makes sense. Can you add a comment to such nodes like:
"UART on header"

Customers usually copy the reference designs (boards) so it is usually
useful to explain why something on carrier board was enabled, even
though nothing is attached.
