Phandle references in overlays are assigned the value of -1 (0xffffffff) in
the dtb, to be fixed up when loaded. A new check sees this value and
triggers the assert.
It is this commit in the upstream dtc tools tree:
commit ee3d26f6960bb5922d9a35fe266d9eac74a78ec0
checks: add interrupts property check
There are a bunch of other new checks that call get_node_by_phandle(),
and thus could trigger the assertion.
I'm guessing that those checks would also trigger the assert if an
overlay contained something that would lead to one of the other checks
being processed.
You can avoid the problem in your example dts with "-Wno-interrupts_property"
dtc -Wno-interrupts_property fpga_01_a.dts
The larger set of other checks that might trigger the assert is too large
for me to want to add "-Wno-" flags for all of them to the command line
(as temporary workarounds).
