They are just that .. warnings. We have a patch for the beaglebone to clean up the input configs, it just didn't make it into master yet. Old values, values missing dependencies, etc, all may be dropped by the kernel configuration phase. The tools detect and warn if this happens, since it may be critical (i.e. boot failure) or not .. and if not, it does indicate that the input configuration fragments need some cleaning.
