kernel: 5.10: silence bogus "Missing #address-cells in interrupt provider" warnings

Rosen reported strange dtc warnings that had their origin in
an upstream patch to 5.8-rc1. Upon further digging this
revealed an ongoing thread [0] discussing the topic:

> [...]I don't think we need a bunch of warning fix patches to add

and later on:

This patch backports just the patch which removed the warning message
(this is from the upstream dtc project [1] - but not the kernel).
the patch does not add the checking of the #address-cells in nodes
with interrupt-map.
