I think I didn't catch what you mean here: would that mean that
we cannot resolve that warning since we cannot add anything to the
binding?

Regarding rp1_nexus, you're right I guess it should be
rp1-nexus as per DTS coding style.

In this case it could be difficult: we need to search for a DT node
starting from the DT root and using generic names like pci@0,0 or
dev@0,0 could possibly led to conflicts with other peripherals.
That's why I chose a specific name.

Many thanks,
