That warning is expected and everything is "fine" as long as linux-next does not have it. "Fine" as a meaning part of current process, but far from optimal. But you should not pull the drivers into DTS branch just to solve it. You could pull only the binding file, although no one does it currently just for that (there was such proposal and Rob did not immediately reject it so maybe that's where it could go).
