I was using the latest schema from master. But I changed to 2020.08.1
also, and still don't see the warning.

$ dt-doc-validate --version
2020.12.dev1+gab5a73fcef26

I dont have a system-wide dtc installed. One in kernel tree is updated.

$ scripts/dtc/dtc --version
Version: DTC 1.6.0-gcbca977e

Looking at your logs, it looks like you have more patches than just this
applied. I wonder if thats making a difference. Can you check with just
these patches applied to linux-next or share your tree which includes
other patches?

In your logs, you have such error for other interrupt controller nodes
as well. For example:

 arch/arm64/boot/dts/ti/k3-j7200-main.dtsi:
/bus@100000/bus@30000000/interrupt-controller1: Missing #address-cells
in interrupt provider

Which I don't see in my logs. My guess is some other patch(es) in your
patch stack either uncovers this warning or causes it.

Adding Lokesh to cc as well.
