Okay, but fdtoverlay tool can't apply overlay_base.dtb to testcases.dtb as none of its node have the __overlay__ property and so I have entirely skipped overlay_base.dtb and overlay.dtb now. Yes this reduces the test coverage a bit as you said, but I don't see a way to make it work right now. And I am not even sure if it is a fdtoverlay bug, it expects the __overlay__ thing to be there for each node, otherwise it can't figure out where this node should be applied. -- viresh
