If that was still true, there would not be a warning because .txt files 
don't cause warnings. You've defined the SPI compatible here and that 
doesn't agree with the dts files. One of them is wrong.

Normally, child nodes either just reference another schema or document 
everything locally. You've done a mixture which is not right. Presumably 
that was to avoid 'undocumented compatible' warnings. To fix that you 
either need to convert the SPI binding or don't use it in the example.
