I'm sorry, I looked back at it and my explanations are confusing.

I use Alex Torgue's tree, and I'm based on the next branch, but linux-next
should be the same I just checked it.

Using '$ make dtbs W=1', you can observe several of the followings:

arch/arm/boot/dts/stm32mp151.dtsi:1533.9-1536.6: Warning
(avoid_unnecessary_addr_size): /soc/display-controller@5a001000/port:
unnecessary #address-cells/#size-cells without "ranges" or child "reg" property
arch/arm/boot/dts/stm32mp151.dtsi:1533.9-1536.6: Warning (graph_child_address):
/soc/display-controller@5a001000/port: graph node has single child node
'endpoint@0', #address-cells/#size-cells are not necessary

This &ltdc { port { #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>; }; }; part is
actually annoying. This is because there is several device-trees that only got
one endpoint, and some other that includes two.

For instance: stm32mp15xx-dhcor-avenger96.dtsi vs stm32mp157c-dk2.dts.

I would like to remove to root part of address/size field and let only the lower
device-trees with with multiple endpoints handle their own fields. I hope this
explains a bit better my process.
