Hi Rob,
I got warning on unit_address_vs_reg similar to this
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/3/7/43 when using v4.7-rc2 dtc to build dtb
for X-Gene Mustang:
dhdang@xgene-next=>./scripts/dtc/dtc -O dtb -R 16 -o mustang.dtb
arch/arm64/boot/dts/apm/apm-mustang.dts
Warning (unit_address_vs_reg): Node /soc/reboot@17000014 has a unit
name, but no reg property
Warning (unit_address_vs_reg): Node /memory has a reg or ranges
property, but no unit name
Warning (unit_address_vs_reg): Node /gpio-keys/button@1 has a unit
name, but no reg property
There are nodes that I cannot change the node-name due to backward
compatible with old firmware reason (/soc/reboot@17000014 as an
example). Is there any other way to avoid the warning?
Regards,
Duc Dang.

I think you have that backwards around. The Kernel needs to be
backwards compatible with old DT blobs. DT blobs don't generally need
to be backwards compatible to older kernels.
However, the kernel should however be happy with or without the unit
name. The unit name is pointless in this case.

I should be more specific: The old firmware I am talking about is the bootloader
(U-Boot). U-Boot relies on the full node names to do device tree
fix-up, so changing
the node names will break the fix-up operation in already-released U-Boot.
