So, I've applied this to u-boot/master now. These warnings do show up
with gcc-10 and it's worthwhile to silence them. I'm working with
upstream dtc now so that when we resync next we'll be able to avoid the
size and performance penalties of making all fdt loads unaligned safe.
A further resync will also require us to fixup a number of dts warnings
again. These are the main reasons that I'm setting aside my suggestion
of a full resync for now. Thanks!
