Looks good to me, so:

Still, a few suggestions for future improvement below...

Obviously this should have used DECLARE_BITMAP() ;-)

Do we need all these checks on id? Can this really happen?
I guess doing it once in of_unittest_track_overlay(), and aborting all
of_unittests if it triggers should be sufficient?

No need for BIT_{WORD,MASK}() calculations if you would use test_bit().

If it is not guaranteed that overlay ids are assigned in sequence, the
reverse order is not really needed, so you could replace the bitmap and
your own tracking mechanism by DEFINE_IDR() and idr_for_each()?
And as IDRs are flexible, MAX_UNITTEST_OVERLAYS and all checks
could be removed, too.
