This seems to be doing things the hard way. You're essentially extending the semantics of overlay application to add the symbol merging. You've implemented these extended semantics in libfdt, which is all very well, but that's not the only overlay application implementation. It seems to me a better approach would be to change dtc's -@ implementation, so that in /plugin/ mode instead of making a global __symbols__ node, it puts it into the individual fragments. That way the existing overlay application semantics will update the __symbols__ node. -- David Gibson | I'll have my music baroque, and my code david AT gibson.dropbear.id.au | minimalist, thank you.
