[PATCH V6 0/6] dt: build overlays

[Viresh Kumar]

Hi Frank/Rob,

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 most 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).

Also note that Frank has already shared his concerns towards the error
reporting done by fdtoverlay tool [2], and David said it is not that
straight forward to make such changes in fdtoverlay. I have still
included the patch in this series for completeness.

FWIW, with fdtoverlay we generate a new build warning now, not sure why
though:

drivers/of/unittest-data/tests-interrupts.dtsi:20.5-28: Warning (interrupts_property): /testcase-data/testcase-device2:#interrupt-cells: size is (4), expected multiple of 8

V6:
- Create separate rules for dtbo-s and separate entries in .gitignore in
  4/6 (Masahiro).
- A new file layout for handling all overlays for existing and new tests
  5/6 (Frank).
- Include overlay.dts as well now in 6/6 (Frank).

V5:

- Don't reuse DTC_SOURCE for fdtoverlay.c in patch 1/5 (Frank).

- Update .gitignore and scripts/Makefile.dtbinst, drop dtbo-y syntax and
  DTC_FLAGS += -@ in patch 4/5 (Masahiro).

- Remove the intermediate dtb, rename output to static_test.dtb, don't
  use overlay.dtb and overlay_base.dtb for static builds, improved
  layout/comments in Makefile for patch 5/5 (Frank).
