Okay, but why does it have /plugin/; specified in it then ?

And shouldn't we create two separate dtb-s now, static_test.dtb and
static_overlay_test.dtb ? As fdtoverlay will not be able to merge it with
testcase.dtb anyway.

Or maybe we can create another file static_overlay.dts (like testcases.dts)
which can include both testcases.dts and overlay_base.dts, and then we can
create static_test.dtb out of it ? That won't impact the runtime tests at all.
