Yes, good catch. I will fix the reference.

BTW, what about moving/copying some of the DTC docs in the kernel doc
directory? The dtc Documentation directory is missing from the kernel tree.

I think not. But doing it this way has the nice property of keeping all phandle
values the same each time you do a load-unload-load sequence.

Hmm, I think so. I'll see if there's anything special there.

It is the same for the compiler, but you're right.

No, because the device tree being passed it it guaranteed to be
in detached state, it is not part of the live device tree; 
the check in the beginning of the function makes sure.

When we apply the overlay the devtree lock is taken properly.
