Just a heads up.

This will conflict with my patch series "[PATCH 00/12] of: overlay: clean up
device tree overlay code" [1].  The issue that Lixin has identified will
still remain after applying my patch series, and can be fixed in the same
manner as his patch, just different context, including variable names.
