+ bool "Support devicetree overlays on live devicetree"
+ help
+ This option allows to use devicetree overlays with the live
+ devicetree. It is not required to apply overlays to any other
+ devicetree.
+
+ This builds the build-in devicetree with __symbols__, which
+ significantly increases the size of the dtb file.
+
+ Enable this option only if you actually need the live devicetree
+ while applying in the devicetree overlay. This is usually the case if
+ applying the overlay has other side effects than changing the
+ devicetree.
