Move duplicating and unflattening of an overlay flattened devicetree
(FDT) into the overlay application code. To accomplish this,
of_overlay_apply() is replaced by of_overlay_fdt_apply().
The copy of the FDT (aka "duplicate FDT") now belongs to devicetree
code, which is thus responsible for freeing the duplicate FDT. The
caller of of_overlay_fdt_apply() remains responsible for freeing the
original FDT.
The unflattened devicetree now belongs to devicetree code, which is
thus responsible for freeing the unflattened devicetree.
These ownership changes prevent early freeing of the duplicated FDT
or the unflattened devicetree, which could result in use after free
errors.
of_overlay_fdt_apply() is a private function for the anticipated
overlay loader.
Update unittest.c to use of_overlay_fdt_apply() instead of
of_overlay_apply().
Move overlay fragments from artificial locations in
drivers/of/unittest-data/tests-overlay.dtsi into one devicetree
source file per overlay. This led to changes in
drivers/of/unitest-data/Makefile and drivers/of/unitest.c.
- Add overlay directives to the overlay devicetree source files so
that dtc will compile them as true overlays into one FDT data
chunk per overlay.
- Set CFLAGS for drivers/of/unittest-data/testcases.dts so that
symbols will be generated for overlay resolution of overlays
that are no longer artificially contained in testcases.dts
- Unflatten and apply each unittest overlay FDT using
of_overlay_fdt_apply().
- Enable the of_resolve_phandles() check for whether the unflattened
overlay is detached. This check was previously disabled because the
overlays from tests-overlay.dtsi were not unflattened into detached
trees.
- Other changes to unittest.c infrastructure to manage multiple test
FDTs built into the kernel image (access by name instead of
arbitrary number).
- of_unittest_overlay_high_level(): previously unused code to add
properties from the overlay_base devicetree to the live tree
was triggered by the restructuring of tests-overlay.dtsi and thus
testcases.dts. This exposed two bugs: (1) the need to dup a
property before adding it, and (2) property 'name' is
auto-generated in the unflatten code and thus will be a duplicate
in the __symbols__ node - do not treat this duplicate as an error.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
