As I wrote, the attached DSI panels make use of #address-cells / #size-cells.

Please take a look at the sdm845-mtp.dts, which provides a complex
enough example (a panel which is attached to both DSI0 and DSI1
hosts).

Can't quite catch you here.

It is a guideline, but not a rule. No warnings by default is more of
the rule. W=1 enables warnings that developers have to classify and
cope with.

E.g. I don't think dtc correctly handles the case when there are both
with-address and no-address nodes (e.g. 'panel@0' and 'ports'). Note,
I might be mistaken there.
