While OpenFirmware originally allowed walking parent nodes and default
root values for #address-cells and #size-cells, FDT has long required
explicit values. It's been a warning in dtc for the root node since the
beginning (2005) and for any parent node since 2007. Of course, not all
FDT uses dtc, but that should be the majority by far. The various
extracted OF devicetrees I have dating back to the 1990s (various
PowerMac, OLPC, PASemi Nemo) all have explicit root node properties. The
warning is disabled for Sparc as there are known systems relying on
default root node values.

v2:
  - Add a define for excluded platforms to help clarify the intent
    is to have an exclude list and make adding platforms easier.
  - Also warn when walking parent nodes.

This patch landed in today's linux-next as commit 4b28a0dec185 ("of: 
WARN on deprecated #address-cells/#size-cells handling"). In my tests I 
found that it introduces warnings on almost all of my test systems. I 
took a look at the first one I got in my logs (Samsung Exynos Rinato 
board: arch/arm/boot/dts/samsung/exynos3250-rinato.dts):
Just a "me too" for rk3288-firefly.dtb:

[    0.138735] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at drivers/of/base.c:106 of_bus_n_addr_cells+0x9c/0xd8
[    0.138776] Missing '#address-cells' in /power-management@ff730000

I'm sure it's easy to fix up the DTB, but we shouldn't be breaking long existing DTBs.
