Hi Maxime, so, I tried your patch (had to adjust it slightly, since there is no sun5i.dtsi file in 4.1) and it works perfectly. There is now exactly one such message in dmesg in the early boot process, but after that, they are gone completely. Very nice.

Too bad. I guess I have to adjust my workflow then to take the 4.1.x sources from kernel.org and always patch them manually.

Especially people who use an SD card for their rootfs might wanna take mesaures to prevent the constant writes to syslog wearing out their storage. Now, one could adjust the kernel log level and the syslog rules, but your patch is a much nicer solution ;) Anyway, thanks for your time and help. Much apreciated.
