I think this is worse performance than before.

This now walks all entries when before it would
return -EINVAL directly when it found a match.

Yes, it is worse performance, but that is OK.

This is a check that is done when a devicetree overlay is applied.
If an error occurs then that means that the overlay was incorrectly
specified.  The file drivers/of/unittest-data/overlay_bad_add_dup_prop.dts
in this patch provides an example of how a bad overlay can be created.

Once an error was detected, the check could return immediately, or it
could continue to give a complete list of detected errors.  I chose to
give the complete list of detected errors.

Swell.  Please describe that in the commit message.
