Fist, we are aimed to build a device driver regression testsuit. Without
overlay, lots of the dtb fragments must be combined to a very big one, it
may different to maintainence. overlay makes easily to attach/detech as
the device's requirement.

Seconds, overlay dts may be used to found or verification issues related
to of_node_put or others, such as patches like:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/log/?qt=grep&q=node_put

many of them may found by static check tool, which may leak of tesing.

The documentation I post does not use overlay dts, but when overlay
dts[1] is used, we can found the of node leak:

$ python3 -m kddv.cmds.mock -b spi -d mchp23k256
create spi device mchp23k256 success!
$ ls /sys/bus/spi/drivers/mchp23k256/spi0.0/mtd/
mtd0  mtd0ro
$ python3 -m kddv.cmds.mock -b spi -d mchp23k256 -r
[  233.508565] Deleting MTD partitions on "spi0.0":
[  233.516784] OF: ERROR: memory leak, expected refcount 1 instead of 2,
  of_node_get()/of_node_put() unbalanced - destroy cset entry: attach
  overlay node /spi/spi-sram@0
remove spi device mchp23k256 success!

Not sure it is worth to fix issues like this, but at least, we can
tesing them now.
