Hi Frank/Rob, I have picked all the related patches together into a single patchset, so they can be properly reviewed/tested. This patchset makes necessary changes to the kernel to add support for building overlays (%.dtbo) and the required fdtoverlay tool. This also builds static_test.dtb using some of the existing overlay tests present in drivers/of/unittest-data/ for better test coverage. Note that in order for anyone to test this stuff, you need to manually run the ./update-dtc-source.sh script once to fetch the necessary changes from the external DTC project (i.e. fdtoverlay.c and this[1] patch).Do we need a fdtoverlay fix for applying root node changes?
I have dropped the overlay files which were updating the root-node as it looks like it shouldn't be done. Frank suggested (in his patch) to drop overlay.dtb and I dropped overlay_base.dtb as well. With that no other fixes are required. -- viresh
