I have tried selecting MISC_DEVICES in the Kconfig's, but the warning remains.
I agree with Ben's comment: "That seems like a bug, since MISC_DEVICES
doesn't by itself select any
code. (It's also not a meaningful category and maybe ought not to be an
option at all.)"
What about the aproach below?

Yes, that's what I was thinking of.
This would remove the unneeded dependency of MISC_DEVICES.
I know I need to take extra care not to break other things, but just
would like to get a feedback if this approach goes into the right
direction.
Right, you'll have to delete all dependencies on MISC_DEVICES. Maybe
remove it from defconfigs as well, though I'm not sure whether it's
normal to do that at the same time.
I also think this is the correct approach.
In the drivers/ tree, there are two mentions of MISC_DEVICES left:
finger@larrylap:~/wireless-testing-new> grep -r MISC_DEVICES drivers/*
drivers/misc/Kconfig:# This one has to live outside of the MISC_DEVICES conditional,
drivers/mmc/host/Kconfig: select MISC_DEVICES
