Now that makes sense.

We need to have the code that generates these properties to also add
markers. Or we could drop the __symbols__ nodes on YAML output. Or
ignore the option when doing YAML output.

There are lots of warnings... I've gone thru and checked some to make
sure they are valid, but certainly not all. There's probably some
cases that are too strict too.
This one is because this device is listed in trivial-devices.yaml and
you can't have 2 interrupts for a trivial device (because you need to
define the interrupt order). Looks like we have a binding doc for it
too, so we should just remove it from trivial-devices.yaml.
There are lots of '... is too (long|short)' messages because of how
the dts file property values are bracketed. This used to not matter,
but is significant in the YAML output. I have a dtc patch to give
warnings on all these (and dtc will give source location).
