Allow overlays to be applied to any DTB. This adds around ~40% to the
total size of the DTB files on average.    

Yes, I will move on to this solution for now to avoid too many complaints about
the devicetree size increases.  

I have done some experimentation with this patch (on top of v6.19 and our private defconfig)
but could not find any DTB size increase.

Does it require another patch or CONFIG change?

if it is your letux_defconfig, then it does not require anything else.

I think something already enables symbols in your tree. Look with
fdtdump at the generated dtbs for a __symbols__ node.
If it is there, then it is enabled.
