As part of this process, I assume that you look at reports for the
series in patchwork.
This looks correct then.

To be honest, I can not see the warnings myself locally (running Fedora 42 atm).
I guess there is a difference in Ubuntu 22.04 sphinx, that is used in GHA.

However, we let doc warnings for dts go unnoticed, and this should be changed.
I sent a patch for this:
