  [PATCH] of: unittest: Statically apply overlays using fdtoverlay
  Message-Id: <1e42183ccafa1afba33b3e79a4e3efd3329fd133.1610095159.git.viresh.kumar@...aro.org>

There are still some issues to be cleaned up, so not ready for acceptance.

I have not used the construct "always-$(CONFIG_OF_OVERLAY)" before, and
have not looked into the proper usage of it.

I tested this using a hand build libfdt and fdtoverlay from the dtc-compiler
upstream project.  For my testing I added LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the body of
"cmd_fdtoverlay" to reference my hand built libfdt.  The kernel build
system will have to instead use a libfdt that is built in the kernel
tree.

I have not run this through checkpatch, or my checks for build warnings.
I have not run unittests on my target with these patches applied.
