The camera's pinctrl configuration is simply empty and not effective.
Remove it to fix dtbs_check warning:

  arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos4412-odroidx.dt.yaml: camera: pinctrl-0: True is not of type 'array'

Indeed it could be intentional... I see now errors:
[   33.752203] s5p-fimc-md soc:camera: Failed to get pinctrl: -19

I wonder why getting an empty pinctrl is needed... maybe the driver
should accept missing pinctrl?

Best regards,
Krzysztof

It might have been better to have the pinctrl properties optional, as there
might be boards without the image sensor attached and FIMC could still be 
used in memory-to-memory mode, as Marek pointed out. But it seems too late 
now to change that. The binding defines the pinctrl properties as required 
(Documentation/devicetree/bindings/media/samsung-fimc.txt) and we need to
keep them in dtses.

Feel free to send the patch, I would prefer to leave that as is though.
Is it really suddenly a problem to use an empty property? The pinctrl 
bindings allows it.
