Hi,

                This mail is regarding the DT overlay support in the Linux kernel
                I am able to make the device-tree overlay work out of box by using my own dtc complier (I mean I used the dtc compiler
                Available here http://www.embedded-things.com/bbb/patching-the-device-tree-compiler-for-ubuntu/  )
                When can I expect the same changes in the scripts/dtc in mainline???? 
                In case of any support needed for testing I can help on testing the same I works in Xilinx and we had a lot of combinations to test overlay ☺ 

                

Regards,
Navakishore.

It's already there. Landed in 4.11.

One dtc feature that is still missing is what Pantelis calls "syntatic sugar".
His patch for that has not yet been accepted into the dtc project if I have
been following along correctly.

Without the syntactic sugar, the source .dts has to expose the details
of the fragment and __overlay__ nodes.
