Thanks for the changes, but that's not correct reason to remove DTS
code. What kernel supports or not, should be irrelevant for the DTS. DTS
for example is used in other projects - did you check if they have the
same issues? Anyway, DTS describes the hardware, so how current kernel
support defines what is and what is not in the hardware?

Hi Krzysztof,

The funnel dt node must have in-ports node. It is to describe the input
connection of funnel HW. But there is no dt_binding doc to describe the
DT node of the HW connected to funnel@3023000. So remove the funnel to solve the warning as of now. The funnel will be added back once driver and dt_binding are added for the HW.

Thanks
