The following patchset introduces Device Tree overlays, a method
of dynamically altering the kernel's live Device Tree, along with
a generic interface to use it in a board agnostic manner.

It is against linux mainline as of today 28/10/2014
"f7e87a44ef60ad379e39b45437604141453bf0ec"
Merge tag 'media/v3.18-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media

It relies on the following previously submitted patches/patchsets:

* configfs: Implement binary attributes (v2)

To compile overlays you need the DTC compiler patch

* "dtc: Dynamic symbols & fixup support (v3)"

The full patchset is applied to the following tree/branch:

git:    git@github.com:pantoniou/linux-beagle-track-mainline.git
branch: dt-ng/bbb
http:   https://github.com/pantoniou/linux-beagle-track-mainline/tree/dt-ng4/gcl-bbb

Changes since V7:
* Using the mainline resolver with the updated local fixups format.
* Drop delete capability using '-' prefix. The '-' prefixed names
are valid properties and nodes and there is no need for it just yet.
* Do not update special properties - name & phandle ones.
* Change order of node attachment, so that the special property update
works.

Changes since V6:
* Now using the updated transaction API.

Changes since V5:
* Rely on transactions for affecting changes to the live tree.
This makes the patchset considerably smaller, and easier to grok.
* Removed the internal API, simplyfing the interface.

Changes since V4:
* New API of_overlay_create/destroy being able to support stacked
overlays correctly.
* Removed use of notifiers internally.
* Removed own-grown bus handler notifiers; using already in-place DT
notification infrastructure.
* Split SPI notifier patch to one patch of generic changes and one
for DT overlay notifier.
* Removed unused overlay depth feature.
* Updated documentation.
* Moved configfs based interface to using the new API.
* Added overlay removal stacking tests.

Changes since V3:
* Added overlay self-tests.
* Fix bug in of_init_overlay_info (wrong sizeof)
* Platform bus handler handles parent_pdev == NULL
* of_resolve fixes according to comments by robh
 + changed if (foo == NULL) to if (!foo)
 + changed if (foo != NULL) to if (foo)
 + drivers/of/Kconfig added dep on OF && !SPARC
 + convert to using be32_to_cpup
 + u32 -> __be32 when modifying property values
 + cosmetic fixes

Changes since V2:
* Use of a configfs board agnostic overlay method
* Use of per bus handlers instead of hardcoded behaviour
* Optional target-path overlay target, which allows one to use standard
DTBs without resolution options.

Changes since V1:

* Removal of any bits related to a specific board (beaglebone).
* Introduced a platform agnostic interface using /proc/device-tree-overlay
* Various bug fixes related to i2c device handling have been squashed in.
