From da2c36c0a911992d80448f9afa5acc9d70871ed0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Tretter Date: Fri, 13 Sep 2019 15:14:40 +0200 Subject: blspec: add support for devicetree overlays Read the devicetree-overlay property from the blspec entry and register the overlays when booting the blspec entry. Do not fail the boot if an overlay cannot be loaded, because if Linux fails to boot without an overlay, the base device tree is broken.
