[PATCH v4 09/18] of: overlay: validate overlay properties #address-cells and #size-cells

[frowand.list@gmail.com]

From: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@sony.com>

If overlay properties #address-cells or #size-cells are already in
the live devicetree for any given node, then the values in the
overlay must match the values in the live tree.

If the properties are already in the live tree then there is no
need to create a changeset entry to add them since they must
have the same value.  This reduces the memory used by the
changeset and eliminates a possible memory leak.  This is
verified by 12 fewer warnings during the devicetree unittest,
as the possible memory leak warnings about #address-cells and

Changes since v3:
  - for errors of an overlay changing the value of #size-cells or
    #address-cells, return -EINVAL so that overlay apply will fail
  - for errors of an overlay changing the value of #size-cells or
    #address-cells, make the message more direct.
    Old message:
      OF: overlay: ERROR: overlay and/or live tree #size-cells invalid in node /soc/base_fpga_region
    New message:
      OF: overlay: ERROR: changing value of /soc/base_fpga_region/#size-cells not allowed
