There are two problems here:
1. This looks like SoC component and such should not be in board DTS.
Regardless whether you maintain something or not, you should not add
incorrect code. Unless this is correct code, but then please share some
details.

2. You cannot have MMIO node outside of soc. That's a W=1 warning.

Best regards,
