Subject: [PATCH] of: overlay: make pr_err() string unique

From: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@...y.com>

The same error string occurs in drivers/of/resolver.c.  Change
the error here to more precisely describe this case, and avoid
the possible confusion of looking in the wrong source location
to understand the cause of an error.

And yes, I was looking in the wrong file and not understanding
how this error could have been triggered by the example
provided.  :-)
