Hi

I support Michal intention, I think it is a warning because device tree 
blob must have the "xlnx,wdt-enable-once" property specified in order to 
allow the system to be sure of the real value of this property. In 
addition to, this warning can be helpful to detect a wrong device tree 
specification.
