Hi Frank/Rob,

I have picked all the related patches together into a single patchset,
so they can be properly reviewed/tested.

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 some 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], I have still included the patch
in this series for completeness, will see how to get that sorted out.

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).
