The function check_node_name_chars_strict issues a false alarm when compiling an overlay dts. /fragment@0/__overlay__: Character '_' not recommended in node name This workaround will fix it by skip checking for node named __overlay__.This is not a false alarm. Do not special case node name "__overlay__". This node name should never occur in a modern overlay source file.
A dtbo -> dts pass will give warnings, so handling these nodes is worthwhile. Though thinking a bit more about it, I think this one is off by default, but W=2 turns it on.
