I believe fdtoverlay allows that intentionally, that would be required
for the cases where we have a hierarchy of extension boards or
overlays.
A platform can have a base dtb (with /plugin/;), then we can have an
overlay (1) for an extension board (with /plugin/;) and then an
overlay (2) for an extension board for the previous extension board.
In such a case overlay-(2) can't be applied directly to the base dtb
as it may not find all the nodes it is trying to update. And so
overlay-(2) needs to be applied to overlay-(1) and then the output of
this can be applied to the base dtb.
This is very similar to what I tried with the intermediate.dtb
earlier.
