To be honest, the device-tree bindings does not mention any estimation

Which ignores the fact that it silently fails if the sizes don't match ;)
The only thing I'm looking for is a helpful warning message :)

Whilst I am usually happy to see helpful warning message. I don't want to see a warning message when the behavior is actually valid.

There is no way to know whether the device tree has been crafted by the developer or generated by the firmware.

So the only solution is to update the documentation about the device-tree bindings and hope that people will read the doc starting to boot Xen.
