Subject: [PATCH v3 0/7] Introducing (yet again) Device Tree Overlays

The following patchset introduces Device Tree overlays, a method
of dynamically altering the kernel's live Device Tree, along with
a generic interface to use it in a board agnostic manner.

It is dependent on Grant Likely's DT kobjectification patches located
in his tree as queued for -next.

It relies on the following previously submitted patches/patchsets:

* OF: Add [__]of_find_node_by_full_name
* OF: Utility helper functions for dynamic nodes
* of: Make of_find_node_by_path() handle /aliases

To compile overlays you need the DTC compiler patch

* "dtc: Dynamic symbols & fixup support (v2)"

Changes since V2:
* Use of a configfs board agnostic overlay method
* Use of per bus handlers instead of hardcoded behaviour
* Optional target-path overlay target, which allows one to use standard
DTBs without resolution options.

Changes since V1:

* Removal of any bits related to a specific board (beaglebone).
* Introduced a platform agnostic interface using /proc/device-tree-overlay
* Various bug fixes related to i2c device handling have been squashed in.


Pantelis Antoniou (7):
  OF: Introduce Device Tree resolve support.
  OF: Introduce DT overlay support.
  OF: DT-Overlay configfs interface
  OF: platform: Add overlay bus handler
  OF: i2c: Add overlay bus handler
  OF: spi: Add overlay bus handler
  of: i2c: Export single device registration method
