In order to build-test the same unit-test files using fdtoverlay tool, move the device nodes from the existing overlay_base.dts and testcases_common.dts files to .dtsi files. The .dts files now include the new .dtsi files, resulting in exactly the same behavior as earlier. The .dtsi files can now be reused for compile time tests using fdtoverlay (will be done in a later patch). This is required because the base files passed to fdtoverlay tool shouldn't be overlays themselves (i.e. shouldn't have the /plugin/; tag).

Is this data intended as a base tree, or as an overlay? If it's an overlay, what are the constraints on the base tree it's supposed to apply to.
I have already replied several times that this should not make sense to anyone unless they read unittest.c and see in detail how these FDTs are abused. I have stated several times that the usage is bizarre and not normal.
This patch is treating it as both in different places, but that's such a bizarre usecase it needs detailed justification. It really looks like the unittest stuff is doing some very bogus stuff that should be fixed first, before trying to do this on top.
The unittest stuff is bizarre, but it is correct. This patch series does not alter the current usage. -Frank
