Subject: [PATCH v4 0/2] of: overlay: rework overlay apply and remove kfree()s

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

Fix various kfree() issues related to of_overlay_apply().

The fixes revealed inconsist variable names for the same variable
across functions, resulting in difficulty understanding the code
that was being modified.  Doing both variable renaming and the
fixes results in a hard to review patch, so split into two patches.

The first patch in the series contains only variable renaming.
The second patch contains the kfree() related fixes.

version 4:
  - patch 2/2 updated, changelogs in patch

version 3:
  - All patches updated, changelogs in each patch

version 2:
  - patch 1/2 new
  - patch 2/2 updated, changelogs in patch
