When a DT overlay has a fixup node that is not present in the base DT
__symbols__, this error is printed:
OF: resolver: overlay phandle fixup failed: -22
create_overlay: Failed to create overlay (err=-22)
which does not help much in finding the node that caused the problem.
Add a debug print with the name of the fixup node that caused the
error. The new output is:
OF: resolver: node gpio9 not found in base DT, fixup failed
OF: resolver: overlay phandle fixup failed: -22
create_overlay: Failed to create overlay (err=-22)

NOTE: this patch is not for mainline!
It applies on top of the runtime overlay patches at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/geert/renesas-drivers.git on
branch topic/overlays, currently based on v5.6-rc1. This looked like the
most up-to-date version of the overlay patches. Should there be a better
place, please let me know.

Why not?

Topic/overlays does not contain any changes to drivers/of/resolver.c,
so this patch is applicable to mainline, too.

Probably you want to print a helpful message here, too?

Because I'm dumb. As I'm using the non-mainlined configfs interface I
tend to consider the entire overlay code as non-mainlined too. Sending
v2 without this comment.

I'm doing even more. In v2 I added a specific error message for each
error path that does not have one yet, and removed the generic message
at the end.
