You keep mixing drivers, bindings and devices which does not help this
discussion. I really do not understand above sentence.

Example like the example DTS in the binding? What does it have to do
with anything here? What are we talking here about?

Examples? Again, about what examples are you talking? Mixing terminology
does not help this discussion, so let's be specific:
Touching examples just because you want, without valid reason: no

You are joking right? First of all, there is no driver
"qcom,mdss-dsi-ctrl". Don't mix the terms, because it does not help the
discussion. Second, please read previous discussions related to these
bindings.

You want to do something without understanding the problem which results
in random band-aids over some warning. Instead, please dig deeper to
understand the problem and then propose solution.
