checks: Warn about missing #address-cells for interrupt parents
The device tree specification (v0.4) suggests that #address-cells is
mandatory for interrupt parent nodes. If this property is missing, Linux
will default to the value of 0.
A number of device tree files rely on Linux' fallback and don't specify
an explicit #address-cells as suggested by the specification. This can
cause issues when these device trees are passed to software with a more
pedantic interpretation of the DT spec.
Add a warning when this case is detected so that device tree files can
be fixed.
