Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] Update aliases when added or removed

Currently the list of aliases is not updated when a DT overlay that adds
an alias is loaded or unloaded. This break drivers (e.g. serial) that
rely on of_alias_get_id().

This picks up the original patch series from Geert Uytterhoeven.

I have not added unittests in this version since I am not sure if kunit
tests should be added, or if the runtime unittests (CONFIG_OF_UNITTEST)
need to be added. Additionally, it would be great if someone can inform
me how to run the runtime unittests since the unittests seem to fail in
my current setup (tried running on qemu x86_64 and beagleplay).

Changes in v2:
- Use `of_reconfig_notifier_register`
- Leak memory when freeing alias entry
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/1435675876-2159-1-git-send-email-geert+renesas@glider.be/
