[PATCH 3/3] of: detect invalid phandle in overlay

[frowand.list-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org]

From: Frank Rowand <frank.rowand-7U/KSKJipcs@public.gmane.org>

Overlays are not allowed to modify phandle values of previously existing
nodes because there is no information available to allow fixup up of
properties that use the previously existing phandle.
