In our case it can be not that important: if we fail to apply an
overlay, we can still use the w1 interfaces to access the eeprom.

Anyway, all those errors weren't taken into account by the w1 framework
before (see my other patch). Also, the w1 patches are given for the
example and could be improved. Part of the reason is the w1 framework
itself :-)
