Subject: [bbb-overlays] Fixing overlay configfs for v4.14
Hi Pantelis,
Using overlay configfs on v4.14 requires two fixes, both due to commit
d1651b03c2df75db ("of: overlay: add overlay symbols to live device
tree"):
1. As the symbols were added to the ovinfo[] array without calling
of_fill_overlay_info(), the new of_overlay_info.info field (added by
your bbb-overlays patches) is not set up, causing a NULL pointer
dereference.
As calling of_fill_overlay_info() is not appropriate here, the patch
below fixes this by filling it in manually. Feel free to fold into
"of: overlay: add per overlay sysfs attributes".
2. "of: overlay: Pick up label symbols from overlays." must be
reverted, else loading overlays fails with:
OF: changeset: add_property failed @/__symbols__/...
OF: Error applying changeset (-17)
I've updated my topic/overlays and topic/renesas-overlays branches in
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/geert/renesas-drivers.git
accordingly.
