Hi Tim,

do these dtbo actually work? I'm wondering because I was trying to useoverlays 
myself and noticed that the had to be compiled with -@ for u-boot to be able 
to apply them. Apparently there are 2 possibilities:
* Set "DTC_FLAGS_[dtb] := -@" yourself
See https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/
commit/?id=e426d63e752bdbe7d5ba2d872319dde9ab844a07

* Use dedicated overlay target
See https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/
commit/?id=15d16d6dadf6947ac7f9a686c615995c5a426ce2

You use neither of them. IIRC just naming the target file .dtbo will not apply 
symbols (-Q) during dtc call. Can you verify using 'V=1'
Also I'm wondering which way is the best to go.

Best regards,
Alexander
