Thank you! It was tested on an older DT with the wildcard pattern. I
updated my test-system and now get the warning. On the Raspberry PI, 
a DT overlay was used, in this case there is no warning with:

  make CHECK_DTBS=y overlays/w1-uart.dtbo ARCH=arm

Is it possible to do a validation for a DT overlay? Since the overlay
may be incomplete, only existing nodes or properties could be checked.

Thanks!
