Comments can be more readable:
"mdss_dsi1" node don't have "ranges" or child "reg" property, while it 
have address/size-cells properties. This caused 
"avoid_unnecessary_addr_size" warning from dtb check.
Remove address/size-cells properties for "mdss_dsi1" node.

Pls help to comment on the revised commit message. Every time I write a 
commit message, also takes a while for me to double confirm whether 
others can understand me correctly as well. Feel free to let us know if 
it is not readable to you. It will help us as non-English native developers.

Per my understanding, "qcom,mdss-dsi-ctrl" driver node like "mdss_dsi1" 
don't need to have address/size-cells properties.
Feel free to let us know whether there is different idea of 
"address/size-cells" needed for the "qcom,mdss-dsi-ctrl" driver node.

If there is no valid reason to add "address/size-cells" properties for 
"qcom,mdss-dsi-ctrl" driver node, the plan is that: Remove 
address/size-cells properties for "qcom,mdss-dsi-ctrl" compatible node.
While there are about 22 different soc dtsi and it's document binding 
files needed to be fixed.Shall we fix it for all qcom related soc usage 
in one patch, or we'd better to split into different patches according 
to soc specifically?

Acked your feelings. Feel free to NAK when you thought it is right thing
