This isn't (yet) a request for a change to the patch, but more exposing a
potential issue of interaction with overlays.
The current in tree instances of updating a property value are fairly
limited. Adding a userspace interface to update a property value
(although limited to only a node's status value) has me thinking about
the interaction with dynamic devicetree updates (of/overlay/dynamic.c)
and also overlays.
If a node exists in a base devicetree, containing only the property
"status", then an overlay subsequently populates the node with a
"dynamic" property then the sysfs status file will not be updated
to be writable. If we do not allow an overlay to add a property
to an existing node, then not an issue. But we have not created
such overlay rules yet.
Again, not a request for a change to this patch yet, just leaving
a breadcrumb for myself.
