I see the advantages of overlays compared to "stacked" .dts files. But
is there any general supported interface how to actually apply an
overlay?
Documentation/devicetree/overlay-notes.rst
states of_overlay_fdt_apply() but there is only exactly one user in-
kernel (rcar-du). Is it expected that the bootloader like u-boot shall
apply the .dtbo files?
Best regards,
Alexander
