I suspect that's largely because most MIPS drivers pre-date the common
iospace handling. Really MIPS should start using this.

That's orthogonal to mapping the iospace.

Not the kernel's job to validate the DT especially if you aren't using
this data anywhere.

Just remove the WARN, make it a single line print, or add
!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MIPS) where the warning is.
