GPMC has separate address spaces per chip select. 

>From Documentation/devicetree/bindings/memory-controllers/ti,gpmc.yaml
  ranges:
    minItems: 1
    description: |
      Must be set up to reflect the memory layout with four
      integer values for each chip-select line in use,
      <cs-number> 0 <physical address of mapping> <size>

The ranges location in the device tree overlay is correct. The overlay is
meaningless without the base tree.

The correct solution would be to fix dtc so it doesn't print this warning
for DT overlays.

i.e.

diff --git a/scripts/dtc/checks.c b/scripts/dtc/checks.c
